Bullying Prevention

Open Parachute offers a proactive, research-based approach to bullying prevention that focuses on developing empathy, self-awareness, and healthy relationship skills. Our programs build a school culture of inclusion, accountability, and emotional safety — where students learn to recognize harmful behaviors and feel empowered to respond constructively.

    The biggest thing for students that I’ve seen is development of empathy. Students are actually able to understand what it’s like to be in someone else’s position. The result of that is a lot more student connectedness and belonging.
