About this title

About the Author:

Carla Garrity, Ph.D. and William Porter, Ph.D. authored, with three of their colleagues, The Bully-Proofing Your School curriculum guides for the elementary years. Mitchell Baris, Ph.D., a family psychologist, joined them for this companion book which grew out of the questions and concerns of families wanting greater understanding and strategies for bully-proofing their children. All three authors have worked in schools, communities, sports programs and with families to assure that all children have the opportunity to learn and play in environments that promote healthy interactions.
