Bystander Intervention Training:

*Content Warning: This workshop explores topics related to violence, including sexual violence, relationship violence, stalking, and harassment. The discussion will include definitions and dynamics of violence, in addition to scenario-based learning

In this 1.5 hour workshop, students develop skills to identify potentially violent situations and safely and effectively intervene to decrease instances of violence in the ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏcommunity and create a culture of collective support. During the workshop, students explore ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏpolicy, signs and dynamics of power-based violence, barriers to intervening, and the 3D bystander intervention approach.
