Bullying can be a complex and traumatic experience for many children and teenagers. In this context; to strengthen peer relations in children and to take precautions against peer bullying, Psychosocial Support Training, which was started on 14 April 2023 in Sultangazi City Integration Unit, was carried out.

The last module of the four-week training program was completed on May 30, 2023. During the training, psychologists taught children and young people the topics of "communicating and empathizing in order to express their feelings, set boundaries, understand how others feel and help them".

Also in education; to prevent and intervene against peer bullying, the importance of asking for help from an adult, not being silent while witnessing bullying, and supporting the victims were emphasized.

During the training process, participants had the opportunity to share their own experiences and had the chance to simulate in a supportive environment.
