Brigitte Albert (X) (asker) Mar 31, 2010:
Thank you all for your input! You have given me a lot of choices. Since one of Liz's sources had a word I felt was appropriate, I will give Liz the points for this one. I ended up using "response strategies," since this film will be screened mostly in schools. Mark, had you posted your comment, I would have split the points! :-) Thank you all once again!
Mark Nathan Mar 30, 2010:
I just mean that bullying in some form or another is an integral part of many enviroments; it might be subtle psychological bullying, or even unconscious bullying. It seems to be part of human nature; so to talk about "solving it" is somewhat simplistic.
ormiston Mar 30, 2010:
but hardly a solution (!)
Mark Nathan Mar 30, 2010:
Capital punishment is a response.
liz askew Mar 30, 2010:
Dear Mark
I find "responses" rather weak:)
ormiston Mar 30, 2010:
very PC Mark ! although I'd prefer 'ways to tackle bullying' as the chief response to bullying is unfortunately to stay mum!
Mark Nathan Mar 30, 2010:
When recently translating a text about violence in schools, I noticed that they were careful to talk about "responses" rather than solutions.
ormiston Mar 30, 2010:
Phil or John should post their ideas
John Detre Mar 30, 2010:
Agree with Phil "Possible solutions"
"How to deal with a bully"
"What to do about it"
"How to address bullying"

Lots of other possibilities, depending on context and register, but I don't think I would translate "pistes" literally
philgoddard Mar 30, 2010:
This probably means "possible solutions", but a little more context would help. What comes before and after this?

The Support Group Approach - Interview with Sue Young
© 2008, Coert Visser & Sue Young

Sue Young now divides her time between behaviour support to schools and training in solution focused practice. She advocates using solution-focused thinking to encourage success at every level in schools. Her initiatives include implementing national policies across schools, helping local staff encourage positive behaviours in their students and giving support to individual children and parents. One of Sue’s particular interests is promoting an anti-bullying ethos. In the mid-ninties, she developed the support group approach for responding to incidents of bullying. Later she discovered how well her approach fitted with solution focused thinking and ever since, has been applying solution focused principles to all areas of her work. So, what is the support group approach and how does it work? Is it hard to do? How does it help? Find answers to these questions and more in this interview.

remedies against bullying /fight bullying with the correct behavioral reaction

might be an alternative to solution since the fight implies the likelihood of solving the problem

Tips for dealing with bullies

I think "tips" could be equivalent to "pistes de solution" in this context
Note from asker:
Thanks, Pablo.
Peer comment(s):
agree Carol Gullidge : I was going to suggest "beating the bully" but that might be ambiguous!
52 mins
Thanks, Carol. Ambiguous but catchy...
neutral B D Finch : I like "dealing with" but not "tips for", which sounds somehow too casual.

ideas for tackling bullying

I do think you have to spell out in the title what this is about in English, even if it is obvious because of the overall text. Just talking about options or responses by itself doesn't make a good title in my view.

Thanks, Gilla.
