Bullying in schools is a public health crisis hiding in plain sight. One in five high school students is bullied, yet most incidents go unreported, often because parents or caregivers do not know what to look for or how to act without making things worse. This multi-intervention ecosystem of knowledge sharing, social awareness, and training is designed to close that gap. The project outcome is a public-facing awareness website to educate the broader community, and an adaptive bullying prevention course built specifically for parents.
The aim is to take a more holistic approach to the cycle of social change. Unlike other available resources online, which provide an excellent knowledge base or raise social awareness, this project equips the audience with practical skills to prompt meaningful actions to cultivate change.
Parents are also learners under stress and time constraints, and the design reflects that understanding of its users. A diagnostic pre-assessment identifies what each parent already knows and what they don't, then branches the learning path accordingly. Whether their child is the victim, the bystander, or the bully — and sometimes a child is all three — the course delivers research-backed, actionable guidance in plain language, without judgment and without overwhelm.
