Buddies Not Bullies strengthens the lives of children and families by reducing bullying through community collaboration, education and prevention efforts.  Our unique programs address many challenges that our children face as they navigate increasingly complex social situations; helping them to build skills necessary to build and sustain healthy relationships.

Buddies Not Bullies works to reduce bullying by providing prevention education throughout Franklin County and surrounding communities.  Our prevention programs were developed in response to the growing number of children who were being seen in mental health facilities struggling with peer abuse and mistreatment, i.e. bullying. Through school programs and community events, over 10,000 children, families, and professionals have received services through Buddies Not Bullies since 2005.
