PACER has been providing bullying prevention resources since 2002 when staff wrote the first curriculum in the nation on bullying prevention for children with disabilities. In 2006, those initial efforts led to the creation of PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center (NBPC), a program focusing on creating outreach and educational resources for parents, professionals, and students, with and without disabilities. NBPC recognizes bullying as a serious community issue that impacts education, physical and emotional health, and safety and well-being of students.
