Have You Ever Been in a Tense Situation and Wondered What You Could Do to Help?

Register for Bystander Intervention Skills Training

Helping others is at the core of being human and we help for many different reasons and in many different circumstances. Bystander intervention skills are one practical way that we can help others or respond to problems, like harassment, to create a more positive and equitable community.

These interactive discussions will use real-world examples to explore factors that impede or promote bystanders from helping and introduce strategies for safely and effectively intervening in a range of situations. Two opportunities to participate in the training are being made available September 11 and 22.  Register below!

Your Guides:Teresa Wroe(pictured) andJulie Volckenswork at the University of Colorado Boulder on issues of health and social equity, with a focus on preventing violence and harassment and building strategies for reducing harmful behavior in the educational, social, and workplace environments. Starting in 2009, Wroe and Volckens co-developed a bystander intervention skills program that has been the foundation for anti-violence and anti-discrimination education for all CU community members. They train university and local community members in a range of skills that are safe and effective for responding to problematic comments and intervening in instances of identity-based harassment or any other interpersonal abuse or conflict.
