Intervening with the Bully Response – Let’s find out what is really happening!

Bullying is not going away, despite over 25 years of conferences, anti-bullying legislation, national initiatives, a multitude of Anti-bullying programmes and events like Pink Shirt Day. So much time, energy and resources have been poured into trying to “tame the bully” and it is just not working. Why not? Because you cannot develop an effective intervention if you don’t understand the underlying reasons for the behaviour.

In this revised version of his course, “Bullies: Their making and unmaking”, Dr. Neufeld helps us to understand the origins of the Bully Response, proposing that it comes from a perversion of Alpha instincts. This way of looking at bullying then leads to interventions that can really make a difference.

During the facilitated discussions of the course material, Eva de Gozstonyi and Jeanie Alderson will share their experiences with how they used this knowledge to help schools to effectively intervene with the Bully response.
