Engaging Parents and youth.School staff can do a great deal to prevent bullying and protect students, but they can’t do it alone. Parents and youthalso have a role to play in preventing bullying at school. One mechanism for engaging parents and youth, Team Z MMA is bringing the community together to keep bullying prevention at school active and focused:

Students feel safer and can focus on learning.
Parents worry less.
Teachers and staff can focus on their work.
Schools can develop more responsive solutions because students are more likely to see or hear about bullying than adults.
School climate improves because students are engaged in taking action to stop bullying.
Parents can support schools’ messages about bullying at home. They are also more likely to recognize signs that a child has been bullied or is bullying others.
