No Bullying Schools is one of America's top research-based programs for Bullying Prevention and Positive School Culture. It includes a year-round video curriculum for students and a robust Report Bullying Software where school administrators can track and manage bullying incidents. When students submit a report using the "Report Bullying" app (available in the App Store and Google Play), school administrators receive and automatic email alert, notifying them of the new report. Administrators can login to our secure software and investigate the report, or assign it to another Administrator which triggers a new email alert. You can elevate a Report to a “Case,” which is a flexible tool for saving multiple reports, student files, screen shots, confirmed incidents, IEP Notes, and the student’s own “Positive Action Plan.”Developed by Educators, PhDs, and Bullying Prevention Experts, our program creates a multi tiered system of support for students, and provides evidence-based interventions for bullying prevention and anti-bullying curriculum.

I love being a Bullying Prevention Speaker for School Assemblies, Teacher Trainings, and Education Conferences. Thanks to the help of one teacher, I learned how to break free from the bullying cycle, and I think we can all be that trusted adult for at least one kid in our lives. My bullying prevention training focusses on empowering students to be the change on their school campus, and I show educators how to connect with kids on the heart level (which often makes all the difference). I've had the privilege of speaking at national and international conferences for educators, parents, and students of all ages.

Tom Thelen is the author of "Victimproof: The Student's Guide to End Bullying" along with the Victimproof Anti-Bullying Video Curriculum on DVD, and the Victimproof Teacher's Guide. Victimproof teaches students how to break free from the bullying cycle and become more resilient. "When you get help from a trusted adult and talk through the pain of bullying, you too can become victimproof. That means you refuse to give a negative reaction in the moment of bullying. In other words, you keep your power and composure, staying under control even if someone else goes out of control. And then after the moment has passed, you talk to a school counselor or another trusted adult. You release the pain and let go of revenge because when you talk it out, you don't have to act it out. That's how you break free, by refusing to give all your mental and emotional power to the person who hurt you. You may have been vicitmized, and that's real, but when you get help you refuse to stay a victim forever. Some people call it grit, and some call it resiliency. I call it becoming victimproof." - Tom Thelen

From 2004 to 2008 I worked as a volunteer and a paid youth leader at several non-profits in the Grand Rapids Michigan area. That's when I developed a love for speaking to students. Even in a small group, I learned the importance of speaking with authenticity and even vulnerability. It really is true - if you want to touch the heart, you have to speak from the heart.
