| Description |
Girls who bully others are in need of insightful interventions that will help them learn other, more appropriate, ways to become empowered. Without such help, these girls are likely to continue to be cruel and disruptive, and may eventually develop even more severe problems. These girls, as well as the victims and bystanders of RA, need to learn appropriate ways of assertiveness, conflict resolution, empathy, and other personal/social effectiveness insights and skills. We support personal strength-based approaches to helping girls, as well as boys.
This conference will provide participants with research findings, insights, practical strategies, programs and resources related to bullying with a primary focus on relational aggression in girls. We do not endorse merely one particular program or approach to address RA. Instead, we actively seek programs that, together, will offer conference attendees a wide-variety of best-practices, research findings, and practical resources of the highest quality.
