Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center
The Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center (MARC) is housed at Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
Our goal is to bring low or no-cost services to K-12 education, law enforcement, and other professional caregivers for children in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our services include school programs, conferences, workshops, consultation, and research, in the area of bullying prevention, cyber bullying education and prevention, and violence prevention.
The Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center was founded and is directed by Dr. Elizabeth Englander, a professor of Psychology at the College, and an expert in the field. MARC also benefits from the services of other academics and faculty members, graduate students, undergraduate students, and other support staff.
