Bystander Intervention Training

Posting Date(s)

Counselling Services through Student Affairs & the Sexual Assault and Violence Education (SAVE) Group will be offering Bystander Intervention Training (Bringing in the Bystander) this semester. 

Bringing in the Bystander is a workshop that uses a community of responsibility model to teach negative bystanders how to intervene safely and effectively in cases where sexual assault may be occurring or where there may be a risk. Its main message is that “Everyone in the community has a role to play in ending sexual violence.” This prevention program emphasizes a bystander intervention approach and assumes that everyone has a role to play in ending sexual violence. To date UPEI has trained nearly 500 people! 
There is no costs related to taking this training, and all materials are supplied to the participants free of charge!

If you have a group on campus (class, department, and/or staff/faculty/students etc.) that would like to take the training please contact saworkshops@upei.ca
