The Highmark Healthy High 5 Bullying Prevention Institute was founded by, and is supported by, the Highmark Foundation. The Bullying Prevention Institute was created to afford professional development and educational opportunities to school personnel and other professionals as part of the wide-scale implementation of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program in Pennsylvania. It also seeks to establish key baseline measures and continued benchmarking that will allow for analysis of the impact of investments made within Pennsylvania to prevent bullying. The Institute’s ultimate goal is to support those who are committed to reducing the incidence of bullying behaviors in Pennsylvania schools.
