To implement an evidence-based intervention, tailored to the resources and requirements of each participating school, which will reduce bullying, advance school safety and enhance collaboration among all school community members.

Peaceful Schools NC is a project undertaken by the NCPF to explore and initiate programming in schools to support a peaceful learning environment. The focus of the programming from NCPF's perspective is to create an approach which contributes to the general mental, emotional, and physical health of the school and the community surrounding the school.
