AEPAE

What AEPAE does

AEPAE (Asociación Española para la Prevención del Acoso Escolar) is a Spanish non-governmental, non-profit association headquartered in Madrid, founded in 2011–2012, that designs and delivers psychosocial intervention programs for the prevention, detection, and treatment of school bullying. Its flagship offering is the Plan Nacional para la Prevención del Acoso Escolar (National Plan), a school-based methodology that combines pre- and post-intervention incidence testing, awareness training for students, families and teachers, standardized intervention protocols, victim support, bully rehabilitation, and follow-up family counseling. The methodology is delivered by multidisciplinary teams (psychologists, pedagogues, social educators, lawyers, self-protection experts, dramatic arts instructors) and has been applied to more than 1,300 schools, reaching over 65,000 children and adolescents with reported reductions of 67% in general bullying incidence and 95% in severe-victim incidence in the first year of implementation.

The portfolio is layered around the National Plan with complementary products and services: a Test de Incidencia diagnostic, a Protocolo de Actuación, Formación y Talleres (including 6-hour assertive-skills workshops), Coaching Infantil, the 'Generando Confianza' therapeutic summer camp (IX edition in Fresnedillas de la Oliva, 15–20 scholarship places), the Psicored psychological-support service, the AEPAE Digital content library, national jornadas/symposia, and the El Club del Erizo YouTube channel delivering the Programa de Autoliderazgo Infanto-Juvenil Consciente for ages 12–18. AEPAE does not charge schools or families; programs are funded by individual donations processed via Stripe and corporate/foundation partnerships, with Fundación Verisure running an annual 'Protegidos ante el acoso' campaign for three consecutive years and additional support from Fundación Mario Losantos del Campo and various corporate sponsors. International reach is limited but signaled by a European Commission and Mexico DIF mandate to review school bullying prevention programs across Mexico.
