Bullying doesn’t just stop when the school bell rings. The way schools handle bullying can either empower children or leave them feeling unheard and unsupported. But do you know what approaches your child’s school is using—and whether they actually work?

In this episode of The Courage Edition Podcast, I’m breaking down 9 different school approaches to tackling bullying, from traditional punishment-based methods to more restorative and proactive strategies. You’ll learn:

✅ Why school policies matter when it comes to bullying prevention.
✅ The pros and cons of Direct Sanctions, School Tribunals, Restorative Approaches, Mediation, and more.
✅ How some schools focus on strengthening the victim—and why that alone isn’t enough.
✅ How Positive Behavior Support (PBIS) and non-punitive approaches can help shift school culture.
✅ The one question you should ask your child’s school to ensure they have a solid bullying prevention plan.

We’ll also talk about what you, as a parent, can do to advocate for a more effective anti-bullying strategy at your child’s school. Plus, I’ll share some game-changing resources that can help you and your child feel more empowered and supported.
