Abstract

Bullying continues to be an omnipresent public health issue in school communities, affecting children’s and adolescent’s academic success, socio-emotional well-being, and overall development. Schools play a fundamental role in addressing bullying, yet parent and community involvement is equally critical. This article explores the significance of parent education in bullying prevention and intervention within school communities. The role of schools and community stakeholders with implications for each group are discussed. Resources are provided to share with parents/caregivers and facilitate their involvement in anti-bullying initiatives within school communities. The authors offer recommendations for school communities to promote anti-bullying awareness, facilitate parent education initiatives, and future directions for research.
