La Bullying Reporting and Victim Empowerment in Ghanaian Schools (BRAVE GH) project aims to prevent bullying and improve mental well-being among senior high school students through an evidence-based intervention grounded in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). The intervention integrates the BRAVE App, “Brave Watchdog” school clubs, and behaviour modification programs for perpetrators of bullying to promote a positive school culture. Key components include early identification of at-risk students, teacher training to recognize bullying signs, peer support groups, and access to coping resources through the app and clubs. School counsellors will refer students requiring additional support to approved mental health facilities.
Students will serve as clubbers (peer mentors), watchdogs, and ambassadors of the anti-bullying campaign. Parents, teachers, counsellors, and mental health staff will also be trained as patrons, chaperones, and facilitators, creating a proactive, supportive, and responsive school environment. Through its co-creation approach, the BRAVE GH project will be contextually relevant, culturally appropriate, and responsive to the unique needs of each school community.
