Introducing our guest on this episode, Stephanie Fredrick, PhD, NCSP, an Assistant Professor and Associate Director of the Dr. Jean M. Alberti Center for the Prevention of Bullying Abuse and School Violence at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York.

Stephanie is an expert in bullying prevention and social-emotional well-being among youth. Her research program is grounded in the social-ecological framework, which investigates the relations among bullying behavior and its impact on children's individual characteristics and larger social contexts.

In this episode, we discuss the complex nature of bullying and its prevention, as well as the importance of social support, school climate, and social-emotional learning practices. Dr. Fredrick also shares her insights on cyberbullying prevention and more.
