ABOUT BULLY TALK
Bully Talk Inc. empowers students to speak up, reach out, and be kind. Through youth-centered education, advocacy, and community support, we help schools create cultures where every young person feels safe, valued, and heard.
OUR STORY
IT STARTED WITH A
CONVERSATION. IT BECAME A MOVEMENT.
Bully Talk Inc. was founded because a group of students, teachers, and parents refused to accept bullying as just "part of growing up." What started as a single conversation in a school hallway grew into a movement that now reaches thousands of young people across the country.
We believe every student deserves to learn in an environment free from fear. Our founding team — bringing together lived experience, clinical expertise in mental health, and deep roots in education — built Bully Talk to be the resource they wished existed when they were in school.
EVERY VOICE. EVERY STORY.
EVERY STUDENT MATTERS.
