Abstract

This case study describes an intervention project in the community called "Bullying is more than a joke", which took place in the second and third cycles of elementary education school in the north of Portugal. We worked with 489 students from these cycles. The diagnoses, resulting from the questionnaire of harassment / assault on students (Pereira, 2008) and the evaluation of the school and its intervention policies, shows a prevalence of bullying in 40% of children in grade 5 and ineffective community management to respond to this phenomenon.
This project has been developed to promote health education in  students, teachers, family caregivers and to train a multidisciplinary support team, led by the health nurse of the school. It achieved improvements in health, community empowerment agents sensitive to nursing care.
