NREPP is a searchable  online registry of mental health and substance abuse interventions that  have been reviewed and rated by independent reviewers.  The S.S.GRIN  program received high scores for quality of research and a perfect 4.0  in readiness for dissemination.

S.S.GRIN is a Response to  Intervention Tier 2 program that is addressing both bullies and victims  in schools across the country and around the world.  An evidence-based,  age-appropriate, anti-bullying intervention, S.S.GRIN has been proven to  dramatically reduce school violence and increase the social-emotional  competence of both perpetrators and victims.
