Can we ever stress enough that healthy relationships are important? Important to children, important to youth, to adults, to the elderly, to neighbourhoods, communities and organizations, companies, governments and countries. As researchers who invest countless hours into the subject, we know this to be fact. Most people probably give the notion little thought unless they find themselves in an unhealthy relationship.

With this in mind, it’s important to think about bullying prevention, in the schoolyard and beyond.
