No Bully - The Solution Coaching
No Bully - The Solution Coaching

We know that bullying can have a devastating impact on a child's well-being and academic success. That's why, through a partnership with No Bully Portugal, we are certified in the No Bully® Methodology - an evidence-based methodology that empowers schools to proactively prevent and respond to bullying.

Create a culture of respect, empathy and kindness in your school community.



What is the No Bully Portugal


We have created the non-profit association – No Bully Portugal – to end Bullying in Portugal, by taking coaching to schools.

More and more schools recognize the need for an effective anti-bullying system to prevent the damage caused in the lives of students. Through the No Bully System, schools are stopping 90% of the bullying incidents and are creating a culture in which everyone belongs.

It is a Certification Program for Schools to become autonomous in the resolution of bullying cases, through coaching training for teachers and parents.

 

 

How does the No Bully program deal with Bullying?

The No Bully Portugal Program involves various actors - from teachers, school staff, students and parents - to prevent, resolve and deal with bullying and cyberbullying in schools and educational communities.

But, in addition to the intervention of the No Bully program, the community's response must also be analyzed, taking steps and precautions that respond quickly and consistently and convey a message of empathy:

  • Intervene immediately in the bullying situation - do not wait until the situation calms down to deal with the bullying.
  • Keep calm - these are high stress situations that need a reassuring and empathetic position.
  • Contact the authorities if necessary - more extreme situations may require support from other stakeholders.
  • Know the story - It's important to understand all the points and insights in the story.

Importance of No Bully Portugal


+ 30% of children are bullied and + 30% of children bully others.

In Portugal, 1 in 3 young people aged 13 to 15 are bullied*, more than in northern Europe, or in our Spanish and Italian neighbors

The impacts of bullying on schools are often painful and costly: 

  • To targets, it causes problems such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse and suicide;
    For bullies, it creates the risk of absenteeism, drug abuse, criminality and extreme violence;
    Spends time with school staff resolving conflicts and imposing punishments;
    Increases suspensions and expulsions;
    Leads parents to change their children's schools:
    The achievement and the school environment deteriorate;

It is also associated with the phenomenon:

  • Domestic and workplace violence is directly associated with bullying
    Decreases self-confidence and empathy essential for professional success

And, the danger of bullying has expanded to digital platforms in what is now known as Cyberbyullying.

Cyberbullying creates an inescapable environment for young people by assuming a behavior of aggression, threat, intimidation or other interaction to cause pain, shame, fear and/or discomfort, resorting to the Internet or other channels to exercise this behavior, affecting young people even out of school. In fact, the Study "Cyberbullying in Portugal during the covid-19 pandemic" (2020) showed that 61.4% of young people (ages between 16 and 34 years old) were victims of cyberbullying, in the three months that the teaching lasted from a distance during the pandemic.

 

(*) - 2009 questionnaire sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) on attitudes and behaviors of young people related to health ("Health Behavior in School-Aged Children") concluded that the percentage of adolescents in Portugal aged between 11 and 15 years who reported bullying others at school at least once in the previous two months is greater than 30 percent.

The No Bully program is designed for schools and educational institutions that want to take proactive measures to prevent and respond to bullying.

The program is designed for school administrators, teachers, counselors, and other staff who are dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students.

Parents and students can also benefit from the program by learning to identify and report bullying behavior and become agents of change in their school communities.

Finally, the No Bully program is aimed at anyone who wants to create a culture of respect and empathy.

Schools have a legal responsibility to provide a safe learning environment for their students. Students who are victimized by bullying usually suffer irreparable damage and, in extreme cases, end up taking their own lives due to bullying. We therefore advise you to invest in the No Bully Methodology.

Cyberbullying is the use of technology, such as social media, text messages or online forums, to harass, intimidate or harm someone. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying can take place 24/7, be anonymous and reach a wider audience. It can have a significant impact on the victim's mental health, social life and academic performance.

Learn how to deal with cyberbullying among children and young people in your institution, through the No Bully method based on Empathy. Contact us to find out more.
