“The Power of YOU” is a school-based bullying prevention prevention program that targets the roots of bullying, abuse and violence by boosting core emotional intelligence competencies in children, youth and the important adults in their lives. Rather than focusing on a particular problem (like "bullying" "dating violence" or "sexual abuse") the program focuses on building positive behaviors and reducing negative behaviors.
