About Us
Building a Future Free from Bullying
StandUP is a student-led, mission-driven web and mobile app dedicated to raising awareness and promoting action against bullying by educating individuals on its profound impact on brain development. We offer free, research-based resources that highlight how bullying affects not only targets but also bullies and bystanders, leading to long-term consequences for everyone involved.
Our goal is to provide evidence-based educational materials that empower teens and adults alike to recognize bullying as a pervasive social issue, extending beyond schools into workplaces and everyday life.
To support this mission, we offer self-assessment surveys to help users reflect on their behaviors as bullies or bystanders. Additionally, we present realistic bullying scenarios, encouraging users to critically evaluate whether each situation constitutes bullying, identify the bystanders, and understand the potential detrimental effects on everyone involved.
We also offer contact information and a curated collection of state-specific resources for reporting incidents. Additionally, we connect users with the Upstander Organization to encourage active participation in positive change.
Through StandUP, we aim to foster safer and more inclusive communities by inspiring everyone to become an Upstander.
