“…Results confirmed the existence of many school violence intervention programs aimed at the elementary school level. This finding is consistent with the study by Miller (2023), who believed that owing to the increased amount of violence in the 21st century, implementing innovative violence prevention programs is necessary to reduce the occurrence of violence in many communities and schools.…”

School violence remains a major concern for scholars, policymakers, and the public in the United States. Despite the implementation of various school violence prevention programs, information regarding their effectiveness in the United States is outdated and limited. This systematic review identified current elementary school programs that effectively reduce school violence in the United States and determined the types of elementary school violence prevention programs implemented, their effectiveness, and the types of tools used to enhance such programs. A qualitative methodological approach was employed, and four databases were searched. English articles published between 2012 and 2023 were selected. Furthermore, data involving elementary school education, school personnel, teachers, and children (5–12-year-old) in the United States were included in the thematic analysis. Results confirmed that the school-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports program effectively decreases violence, suspensions, office referrals, and disruptive behaviors, whereas positive action effectively reduces negative violent behaviors. Social–emotional learning (SEL) implementation also reduced behavioral issues. The findings of this study are relevant for guiding teachers, school administrators, policymakers, teacher education preparation programs, and health professionals in constructing evidence-based violence prevention programs with an added SEL component for elementary schools.

This body of research-based papers from across the globe, brings new perspectives on concepts from diverse disciplines and geographical regions. Policy makers, development practitioners and ordinary citizens can reflect on well-being from many linked perspectives and find common ground that can lead to new sustainable solutions. The book presents research across a spectrum of issues on health, wellness and well-being, including perspectives on well-being and happiness; new paradigms in measuring well-being; well-being across the lifespan and wellness in the workplace. Additionally, the section on 'wellness in practice' offers readers practical tips to improve or sustain their own health and well-being.The authors commence the introductory chapter, The Global Framework for Wellness: Concepts, Theories, Measurements, Interventions & New Directions by articulating the global agenda for wellness and explaining key concepts related to health and well-being. All of this links people and the planet, to health and well-being, while embodying the guiding principles of equity, inclusivity, resilience, peace and partnerships, as well as climate action, which are integral to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the World Health Organization's (WHO) Geneva Charter for Well-being and the WHO's One Health Initiative. This chapter further explores the subjects of measuring well-being; regional health disparities; well-being policies and programmes across the lifespan, inclusive of support mechanisms such as digital health. The chapter concludes by acknowledging the relevance of re-defining the dominant narratives around wellness to incorporate issues of culture and lived experiences within the global village. Planetary well-being and the global frameworks for healthPlanet Earth and its inhabitants face an existential crisis that threatens the wellbeing and survival of both humans and the environment [1]. Despite global, regional and national commitments to human rights and sustainable development, there is abundant evidence of worsening social, economic, political and environmental hazards that threaten well-being for all. Planetary well-being as defined by KortetmäkWell-Being across the Globe -New Perspectives, Concepts, Correlates and Geography 2 et al. [2] is a concept that explains the moral need to give equal value and consideration to both human well-being and non-human well-being. This concept promotes transdisciplinary, cross-cultural discourse to not only address current social and ecological crises but to also promote social and cultural transformation of underlying systems that impact well-being. Kortetmäk et al. [2] state that:'Planetary well-being is a state where the integrity of Earth's system and ecosystem processes remains unimpaired to a degree that species and populations can persist to the future and organisms have the opportunity to achieve well-being' ([1], p. 1). Planetary well-being and the sustainable development goals (SDGs) address similar planetary challenges and; promote sustaina...
