Workshop objectives:

Participants will understand the concept of bystander intervention
Participants will be able to identify a continuum of inappropriate sexual behaviour
Participants will understand their role in bystander intervention and make a commitment to intervene in the case of sexual violence before, during, and after an incident
Participants will understand their own barriers to bystander intervention and learn techniques to overcome them
Participants will develop skills to intervene as a bystander

The first session is designed to introduce participants to the notion of bystander responsibility and help them begin to recognize inappropriate behaviour that requires intervention, whereas the second focuses more on how to intervene.

This program covers topics that are very sensitive and can be disturbing for some.
