The present article aims to analyze materials and researches concerning ostracism in the educational environment. It was stated that the prevention of ostracism in the educational environment is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. Introducing the psychosocial support program of ostracizers to educational environments may be a long-term solution to the problem. The program aims to provide qualified support to children who tend to ostracize and display deviant behavior; assist them in developing constructive communication skills, self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-regulation skills; establish friendly and respectful relationships with each other; develop partnership and cooperation skills and competencies. The main factor in the program's effectiveness is the involvement of a multidisciplinary team (psychologists, teachers, social workers, and speech-language pathologists (SLP). Collaboration between psychologists, teachers, parents, and children is also necessary.
