Bullying has a very negative impact on the socialization of the victim. Therefore, we presented a training program on bullying prevention. This is a kind of system of dividing classes into blocks, in which exercises are grouped and the methodology of their implementation is described, the goal and objectives are indicated, which are subordinated to the expected common result, namely to reduce the level of aggression; to acquire self-control skills; to learn to regulate their own emotional states; not just to be a participant in communication, but to form the skills of constructive solutions. The purpose of the study is to get acquainted with a set of exercises that will help reduce the level of bullying as a phenomenon in society. The work uses a descriptive method of presenting information – we demonstrate how to use certain tasks, emphasize the smallest «subtleties» of exercises, and suggest the use of various techniques. Results of the study. The program includes 12 sessions, each lasting an hour. Therefore, the total amount of time allotted is 12 hours. We propose to conduct such classes once a week, in small groups of up to 12 people. The program uses diagnostic techniques, meditation, games, drawing, relaxation exercises, mini-lectures. Block 1 is the stage of acquaintance, when the participants receive instructions from the trainer, learn how important the process of communication is. Block 2 – how to achieve stress resistance. Since the symptoms of stress are extremely varied, we teach to form positive thinking, to feel their own importance, to improve, to find incentives for self-development. Block 3 is aimed at overcoming bullying in teams, updating knowledge on the topics of emotional burnout syndrome, emotional problems in life, studying the needs and compliance with our resources, as well as emotional health.
