There is an abundance of information on intervention techniques for children and bullying. There are fewer sources for adults and those that exist are largely connected to workplace bullying in non-U.S. countries. Virtually none address three imporant aspects in place at UAV:

1. Focus on targets who have a history of violent and abusive relationships. The tools available on this website are designed to help fill the huge gap in research which is carried out by people who were usually privileged enough to learn anti-bullying techniques early. People with this privilege need and use very different skills than people who did not have those privileges. This site helps to identify and correct those oversights to bring those with less privilege toward the level of those with greater privilege.

2. Peer education tools based on ethical/moral assessment of the client. Just as it is an extreme struggle for people to act against their natural sexual orientation or gender identity, it is difficult  - and unsustainable - to expect someone to act outside their level of moral development which is what the vast majority of anti-bullying counseling advises. Bullying is a very predictable pattern of behavior and assessing where someone is accurately, assigning a counselor who is at a higher level, and creating reasonable, reachable goals can move a person forward through moral development and away from violence.

3. Free, useful, effective tools for creating change.
