Health Prevention Meetings - 2021

 

School bullying: preventing the downward spiral

 

In France, more than one in ten primary and secondary school pupils is a victim of bullying. Later, in high school, almost 4% of pupils are still affected. Long considered a mere playground nuisance, school bullying and its extension onto social networks are actually having a devastating effect on their victims.

For several years now, Ramsay Sante Foundation has been involved in youth prevention. For Health Prevention Meetings 2021, we wanted to understand the mechanism of school bullying and its consequences on mental health. We also wanted to showcase original, high-impact initiatives in local areas and on social networks.

With this in mind, a 2-session webinar was held, moderated by Christophe Barbier, with an overview of the current situation, followed by innovative and remarkable initiatives to prevent bullying at school.

School bullying: preventing the downward spiral

3 chapters to understand and take action:

  • Harassment and cyberbullying in schools: towards greater awareness
  • How to deal with violence in schools
  • Organizing tomorrow's prevention today

 

 

Part 1 - Current situation

Firstly, this session provided an opportunity to present the key figures for school and social harassment, as well as its origins, and the actions taken by public authorities, schools and the justice system.
The speakers then went on to discuss the damage it causes to mental health, to the young people who suffer from it, and to the adults they will become.
