title: [Bullying prevention in the context of mental health promotion and the development of quality in schools: "MindMatters"].
abstract: The discussion of the subject matter is introduced by a definition of the phenomenon bullying. A vivid case description additionally illustrates the results. The severity of the problem is pointed out by taking empirical findings into account. International research has yielded risk and protection factors of bullying in schools which are subsequently presented as crucial for its successful prevention. The following presentation of the German version of MindMatters is underpinned by these theoretical corner stones. This resource aims to prevent bullying by its integration into mental health promotion and the development of quality in schools.
