Bringing in the Bystander
All events Wellness
Bringing in the Bystander® is an evidence-based bystander intervention program to help prevent sexual violence
Join us for Bringing in the Bystander which is a prevention program based on the concept that all community members have a role to play in ending incivility, harassment, violence and discrimination. The important role that a bystander has in intervention is the basis for this unique and effective program.
The program helps participants gain the knowledge and skills needed to identify and safely intervene before, during, and after instances of risky behaviors.
November 16th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
