Teenagers can now understand a difficult situation better and feel more empowered with +Fort,  an application that gives them a cool way to say no to bullying!

 

The application's goal is to reach out to a young person feeling isolated and offer help, even if they are not ready to talk about things yet. For a teen, it can sometimes be difficult to confide in an adult about bullying experiences. This tool was created to support a young person during difficult times like these, in an interactive but also confidential way.

 

The application provides information on bullying and helps young people better understand what they are experiencing. It also shows them nearly 50 strategies that might put an end to the bullying, and invites them to try these and evaluate them to find out which ones work best.

 

The +Fort  app is the result of a collaboration among several researchers in criminology, psychology, and mental health. After several years of development and a validation period, +Fort  is now available to the general public.

 

This free application can be downloaded from its official website (the website also has a section aimed at adults, whether they're parents or others), http://www.plusfort.org/.
