Summary/Abstract: Violence and bullying is a disturbing and widespread social problem. Therefore, the basic theoretical approaches to aggression, violence and bullying are presented. Based on these theoretical approaches, practical ways of working under the author’s model – monitoring, intervention, prevention and promotion – are indicated. For monitoring, observing and being attentive to any manifestation of violence is considered a priority. Mental health promotion emphasises caring for others and taking care of personal development at the same time. For prevention, a threefold division into primary (universal), secondary (selective) and tertiary (indicated) prevention is used. For intervention, the importance of immediate and systemic work involving pupils, teachers and parents is indicated – as is the support of the non-school environment.
