Description
Bullying is a complex phenomenon that cannot be solved with standardized
interventions. Each case requires an individualized approach, as bullying often involves
multi-causal and systemic factors. A major challenge in schools is distinguishing
bullying from conflict. This is particularly difficult when victims are actively involved in
the dynamic and not easily recognized as such. Moreover, certain reactions from
schools or parents may unintentionally escalate the situation rather than resolve it.
Early identification and an appropriate, situation-specific response are crucial for
effective intervention. Our approach is based on Alfred Adler’s Individual Psychology
and follows a need-oriented methodology for both prevention and intervention.
This Approach considers various key aspects, including:
• Different victim types and tailored support strategies
• Assessing the severity of bullying to determine the appropriate intervention
• The role of parental involvement including cases where bullying mirrors parental
dynamics or involves parents as active participants
• The school’s stance on bullying and the cooperation between teachers and
school social workers
• The impact of classroom leadership styles on bullying dynamics
Our Train-the-Trainer Program A Different Approach to Bullying equips professionals with
tools to conduct thorough analyses and implement customized prevention and support
strategies. This approach highlights how a holistic and individualized strategy
significantly enhances the effectiveness of bullying prevention and intervention in
educational settings.
