Studies have shown that the presence of a Positive Space Group or GSA in a school significantly lowers rates of verbal harassment and physical bullying (in some cases more than 50% lower).

Studies have also shown that the presence of a Positive Space Group has a positive effect on the mental health of students, and also makes students feel safer-and not just marginalized students, but all students.
