Lunch Buddy program encourages positive relationships, anti-bullying norms for area students

In schools, fostering positive relationships can make all the difference in a student's experience. The Lunch Buddy Program is designed to do just that—by pairing students with mentors during lunchtime, this initiative encourages positive behavior, enhances social skills, and builds a supportive community within the school. It's more than just a meal; it's an opportunity for students to form meaningful connections, boost their self-esteem, and create a welcoming environment for everyone. Programs like these remind us that a little kindness can go a long way in shaping the future.

"My colleague and I had federal funding to conduct a multiyear trial of a new school-based prevention program to help children with troubled peer relationships," Cavell said. "This experimental condition involved three semesters of one-on-one mentoring outside school plus social problem skills training for the kids, supportive consultation for parents in the home, and supportive consultation for teachers at school.
