MAB was founded in 2015. Mission: to prevent bullying, support those affected by bullying, and create a society where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Creating safer and more inclusive communities where every individual is treated with dignity and respect. We believe that preventing bullying is not only about addressing harmful behavior—it is about promoting mental health, social inclusion, equality, and human rights.
Our work focuses on supporting children, young people, adults, and families affected by bullying through peer support, education, advocacy, awareness campaigns, and community engagement. We collaborate with schools, workplaces, healthcare professionals, public authorities, volunteers, and international partners to develop sustainable solutions that reduce the long-term consequences of bullying.
MAB places a strong emphasis on lived experience, recognizing that combining professional knowledge with personal experience creates more effective and compassionate support services. Through our projects, we aim to strengthen resilience, encourage open conversations about mental health, and empower individuals to seek help without fear of stigma.
