BULLYING AND HARASSMENT PREVENTION at the Pacific Violence Prevention Institute Thank you for your interest in the Pacific Violence Prevention Institute's Bullying and Harassment Prevention Services. Our goal is to help your institution develop and sustain an effective violence prevention program; a program that helps to create an atmosphere at your school where acts of violence can be prevented. While there are many programs available that work to respond to bullying and harassment, the focus of most of these programs is training teachers, administrators, and staff to identify bullies (students who demonstrate a pattern of behavior that victimizes other students in an attempt to gain power over them) and effectively intervene in their behavior. We approach the problem in a fundamentally different way. Our programs focus on training students, teachers, administrators, and staff to intervene in the bullying behavior that most students engage in (behavior such as put downs, spreading rumors, offensive jokes, stereotyping, etc). By taking action to intervene in these “less severe” acts of violence, an atmosphere can be created that makes it difficult for violence to escalate .
