Program Description

The Target Bullying Involvement Program (T-BIP) is an individualized program provided by supervised trained specialists for students ages 7 to 18 years old who are involved in bullying whether that be solely through perpetration or both perpetration and victimization. The T-BIP is a one-on-one, three-hour cognitive-behavioral intervention tailored to specific student concerns. T-BIP Specialists help to uncover and address involvement in bullying as well as provide specific recommendations informed by assessments. Recommendations are aimed at stopping bullying involvement and restoring relationships.
