Dedicated to Dealing with Female Bullying/Relational Aggression

The Triumph Organization is a nonprofit headquartered in Central Ohio. Triumph is devoted to dealing with female bullying, also known as relational aggression, a form of emotional and psychological bullying that occurs when an alliance of people target another individual with indirect tactics such as rumors and gossip, exclusion, betrayal, blackmail, silent treatments, eye-rolling and dirty looks, name-calling, mean laughs, manipulation, intimidation, cyber-bullying, and other covert behaviors.

Mission: Triumph is dedicated to igniting positive social relationships among girls and women while diminishing and extinguishing indirect aggression. Triumph aids victims in overcoming relational wounds, empowers bystanders to stand up against relational bullying, and helps aggressors realize their behaviors and channel their destructive emotions and actions into productive outlets. This is accomplished through awareness, education, and tools that promote healthy communication and competitiveness.

Triumph believes that every girl and woman is worthy of a healthy, safe, and encouraging social environment that allows personal and professional growth. From children and teenagers to stay-at-home mothers and career-oriented women, all females deserve to establish social solidity through self-security and boundaries that protect against emotional and psychological damage.

As a teenager, Tami McCandlish loved life. She was an honor-roll student, a star athlete, and was happy, outgoing, and confident. But those blissful days were cut short when the highly destructive strategies of an all-girl alliance sent her emotional well-being and stability into a downward spiral.

As a result of the abuse by her peers, McCandlish found herself becoming a reactive aggressor, a characterization that further ostracized her from her classmates, friends, and community and left her pleading to God that He would end her life. Not until her adult years did she connect with the power of Jesus Christ and overcome the many wounds of her past.

Tami McCandlish’s Flying Grounded illustrates the complex problems and secret suffering felt by many girls and women. Through her extensively chronicled experiences, McCandlish successfully demonstrates the importance of helping young girls and women find the validation they need to cope with bullying. She also challenges you to evaluate your relational experiences, raise your standards of compassion, and explore your faith.

Touching upon a little-known topic, Flying Grounded offers hope and inspiration for those who suffer from female bullying.
