Adults can promote positive culture by modeling respectful behavior and encouraging youth to speak up when they witness unkind actions.
Activities that promote teamwork, empathy, and cooperation help youth develop stronger relationships and reduce the likelihood of bullying.
Clear expectations for respectful behavior also help create safe environments.
