Dr. San Miguel Torres will address the underestimated and significant problem of bullying as it is being addressed internationally in terms of the gap in research and application of effective training and intervention within the education system in Puerto Rico.

This presentation will describe an ongoing program of research that uses large and diverse population-based samples of adolescents and recommended statistical approaches to explore these health disparities and the distinct contribution of bias-based bullying.

This presentation will highlight findings from ongoing research examining mechanisms that link peer victimization to poor health as well as contextual risk and protective factors that shape the adjustment of bullied youth.

The focus of this talk is to provide an overview of research and efforts to implement race-centered trauma responsive schools, a systemic approach aimed to complement often employed skills building interventions, in urban schools of the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania. This talk will also offer radical mindfulness, as an alternative to typical mindfulness curriculum.

Attendees of this presentation will learn about how parents of bullied adolescents with developmental disabilities are affected by bullying abuse and factors that impact those outcomes. The presentation will address why an adolescent with developmental disabilities might be more vulnerable to bullying abuse, identify what coping-strategies or supports can help parents to manage their anger towards people who, or systems that, contributed to bullying abuse. Attendees will also be able to evaluate suggestions for school personnel and mental health workers seeking to engage bullying abuse from a family systems approach.

This presentation will have a twofold objective: first, to offer a description of the multidimensional approach to the moral dimension of bullying and the research advances as part of different research project founded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation; and second, to present a proposal for a psychoeducational intervention in Spanish schools that is currently being evaluated for its effectiveness.
