UpGo’s anti-bullying program for teenagers and pre-teens, in-home or in middle school or high school: The UpGo Cyberbullying AID Program™. AID stands for Awareness, Intervention and Defense. This comprehensive anti-bullying program uses videos, quizzes and discussion questions to empower students with the following anti-bullying tools and techniques:
  • The APA Technique — Assess, Plan then Act
  • The BullyFISH Bully Detector™
  • Bullying PEACE Plan™

The UpGo Cyberbullying AID Program is delivered via the UpGo app.

The APA Technique — Assess, Plan then Act — gives students a tool to thoughtfully figure out what to do when they see bad behavior, instead of acting hastily in emotion, which too often makes matters worse. The APA Process is taught in the app as part of the UpGo Cyberbullying AID Program Knowledge Pack.

The BullyFISH Bully Detector™ enables students to differentiate true bullying vs. teasing, and to gauge/evaluate how potentially dangerous the situation is and how urgent it is to act. The FISH acronym — for Frequency, Intent to harm, Severity, and Harm — and the BullyFISH character make the takeaways both memorable and actionable. The BullyFISH Bully Detector is taught as part of the UpGo Cyberbullying AID Program Knowledge Pack.

UpGo’s Bullying PEACE Plan™ answers the question, how can bullying or cyberbullying be stopped. It educates students on the range of actions one can take to address bullying and when each tactic might be most appropriate. The PEACE acronym — for Partner with someone to help, Empathize, Ask to stop, Command to stop, and Escalate to authorities — guides students through an easy-to-use framework to consider approximately a dozen bully response tactics. The Bullying PEACE Plan is taught as part of the UpGo Cyberbullying AID Program Knowledge Pack.
