Schools across the world are still tackling issues with bullying among their students within their districts. Bullying can be a nightmare for many kids and often comes with a heavy price. Globally, 50% of school kids have experienced bullying at some point in their life (Child Helpline International 2013). Whilst 80% of youth suicides are due to bullying and peer victimization (JAMA Pediatrics Network 2013). Mightifier helps kids become masters of their social and emotional skills. Teachers see a more positive class atmosphere, less bullying, and a better focus on learning.
Approach
Mightifier is based on existing social psychology research on positive psychology and character strengths. By making strengths visible in a class, Mightifier helped raise kids’ self-esteem and by that prevent bullying and social exclusion.
