Abstract

Bullying remains a widespread social issue in the United States (US). Those who bully, are bullied, or witness bullying may experience negative emotional and physical consequences.1 To address the gap in accessible youth bullying interventions, Children's Mercy Kansas City partnered with Sporting Kansas City to develop Red Card KC, a bullying awareness program focusing on the impact of bystanders in bullying situations. The program is delivered to school and community partners through interactive assemblies educating youth on recognizing bullying, managing bullying situations, and standing up against bullying. Red Card KC has also partnered with schools to recognize and celebrate students who show kindness within their schools and communities. By targeting bystanders in bullying situations, the Red Card KC program empowers youth to come together in the fight against bullying.
