Class Description

Moving from Bystander to Upstander, What Would You Do? (In-Person) 

This course will explain the multi-faceted and complex role of being a bystander and provide examples of how it can differ based on the level of circumstances that are being experienced. The reaction of a bystander does not have to be “fight” or “flight” only. 

The goal of this training will be to arm participants with knowledge on all the different ways bystanders can engage to not just stand by, but rather take a more active role to address or call attention to a wrongdoing they have witnessed. 

Objectives: 

1. Learning about the role of the bystander
2. Exploring workplace scenarios that challenge that role 
3. Discussing 5 steps of bystander intervention 
4. Creating a personal commitment 

Target Audience: Staff at all levels

There is no cost to employees; the agency covers the cost of participation for their employees.
