Involve youth, parents, professionals, and volunteers in promoting bullying prevention

# Engage a diverse group of parents, youth, and caring adults to explore how residents perceive the problem and what solutions they recommend.
# Be certain to involve youth at every stage in planning, implementing, and evaluating your bullying prevention efforts. That’s the best way to tap into their world and know what will work.
# Knowledge and resources already exist within your community. Seek out interested partners from a variety of sources: educators and guidance counselors, health and mental heath professionals, child development and family centers, social service agencies, local police and law enforcement, neighborhood associations, high school students, colleges and universities, service organizations, faith-based organizations, volunteer groups, and businesses.
# Keep in mind, that more than 70 public and private sector health and safety, mental health, education, faith-based, law enforcement, and youth-serving organizations are partners in the Stop Bullying Now! Campaign. They signed on to spread the message and promote community based coalitions. Consider contacting local chapters, members, and staff of the national associations and service organizations who are Campaign Partner.
