Bringing in the Bystander

AS-383, Grenfell Campus
Open to all university members at Grenfell Campus.
This is an evidence-based intervention adapted for Memorial. It is designed to create a community of shared responsibility to prevent sexual violence and provide guidance on how to safely 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
This program covers topics that are very sensitive and can be disturbing for some.
Bringing in the Bystander will be held over two sessions. The first session is designed to introduce participants to the notion of bystander responsibility and help them recognize inappropriate behaviour that requires intervention, whereas the second focuses more on how to intervene.
Tuesday, September 20th, 2022 from 1-4:30 p.m. AND Friday, November 18th, 2022 from 1-4:30 p.m.
