Efforts to combat school bullying and support student mental health have focused on institutional programs and psychological interventions across various regions. In Argentina, the municipality of Tinogasta launched the “Puentes de Cuidado” (Bridges of Care) project, an inter-institutional program for primary school students designed to foster empathy and emotional expression. In Spain, psychological experts have emphasized the importance of validating victims' experiences to address the fear and insecurity caused by harassment. As the situation evolved, discussions shifted toward the role of school psychologists and the systemic challenges of mental health support. In Mexico, experts have advocated for psychologists to lead community-wide prevention and teacher training, though officials have noted that staffing every school is not currently feasible. Additionally, research in Spain has highlighted that students with neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly those with autism, face significantly higher risks of bullying, while noting that targeted programs like LINKlusive can reduce victimization rates among students with special educational needs. Recent initiatives in Peru and Guatemala have expanded the focus toward family involvement and permanent psychological support. In Peru, experts suggest that preventing bullying requires continuous programs centered on values, social skills, and emotional regulation, alongside a constant dialogue between schools and families. Similarly, in Guatemala, the Secretariat of Education has announced projects to strengthen school coexistence by deploying counselors and guide teachers. This plan aims to complement the national “School for Parents” program, encouraging families to reinforce values at home to support student safety and well-being.
