Have you ever seen something happen that made you feel uncomfortable and you didn't know what to do? That's the "bystander effect:" a well-researched and commonly experienced phenomenon. Training can help you overcome it, enabling you to discern what to do and how to support others in ways that reduce trauma and increase safety.
In this session you'll:
- Learn about the common barriers to being an active bystander;
- Understand the stages of becoming an active bystander;
- Experience a "mini" training and demonstration;
- Discuss possible interventions you might use as an active bystander;
- Learn where to put your attention when you act; and
- Receive materials containing bystander training information.
