Bullying is one of the most painful and persistent challenges young people face today. It shows up in hallways, classrooms, text threads, online platforms, and social spaces—and its effects can be deep, devastating, and long-lasting. For young people, bullying doesn’t just harm their relationships with others; it often shapes how they see themselves. 

GPS For Supporting Young People Being Bullied and Excluded was created to meet this critical need. This trauma-informed, evidence-based curriculum equips facilitators to guide parents and caregivers through the emotional and practical challenges of supporting a child who is being bullied. In GPS groups, parents discover that they are not facing this crisis alone. And as they lighten their own emotional load, they become better equipped to support their children through one of the most challenging experiences a young person can face.

Whether used in schools, community programs, mental health settings, or places of worship, this curriculum helps parents move from fear and isolation toward strength, connection, and a shared path to healing—for themselves and for their children.
