BULLY GO HOME
MISSION:
At Bully Go Home, our mission is to raise awareness, educate, and empower children with effective, proactive strategies to combat bullying. By teaching these principles early, we instill values that carry into their teenage and adult years, fostering a lifelong culture of kindness, resilience, and inclusion. We are committed to creating a safer environment where every child feels valued, heard, and protected. Together, we can break the cycle and build a future free from bullying.
Bully Go Home: The Origin Story
How it began:
Bully Go Home was established in 2015 by Denise Fussell after a defining experience at a summer camp panel discussion. During the session, concerns were raised about two boys, ages 8 and 10, who had been persistently bullying other campers. The situation became so severe that one child was too upset to return the following day.
This incident opened Denise’s eyes to the profound emotional impact bullying can have on children, both those who are targeted and those who bully. During the discussion, she firmly stated, “Bullies-need to-go home.” That statement became the catalyst for the creation of Bully Go Home, dedicated to addressing and preventing bullying from an early age.
We can break the cycle by reaching children when they are young and teaching them that kindness is always the better option.
our VISION:

By fostering a network of trained advocates, we ensure that no child faces bullying alone.

We also offer tailored materials for schools and community organizations to create lasting change in bullying prevention and intervention efforts.
