Bullying prevention psychoeducation called AMBU (Aksi Mencegah Bullying) has been conducted in junior high schools in West Bandung Regency. This study aims to evaluate the program using cross-sectional study for the participants who attended it. This activity was attended by seven teachers and 94 students of grades 7, 8, and 9. The participants were enthusiastic about joining the program because their school’s bullying incidents were relatively high. After participating in the activity, an evaluation of the activity was conducted. The participants answered six things on a scale of 4 (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree), namely the material presented was according to the needs of the participants. This activity increases knowledge about bullying, the comparison between material and discussion is as needed, the presentation method is as needed, the material presented is understandable and interesting, and the atmosphere during the activity was lively and interesting. Results showed that the mean score was 3.18 - 3.41. The evaluation results showed that AMBU was excellent. Thus, AMBU can be given to junior high school students and their teachers. The limitation of this study was that the program is provided to junior high school teachers and students. Thus, future studies can be given to elementary school teachers and students. It is also important to include their parents in the program.
