This session is for faculty and staff of Memorial University only. A session for students is being offered on Oct. 27, 2022.
This session is designed to introduce participants to bystander responsibility, help them begin to recognize inappropriate behaviour, and how to intervene.
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.
Please register for the event via eventbrite.
