Programming:
Bystander Intervention
To truly be campuses with healthy and caring attitudes and practices and have a culture that is civil, respectful, and non-violent, we need community members who are ready, willing and able to intervene in inappropriate, high risk, or problematic situations. Engaging community members in intervening is the goal of the one-hour CSB/SJU bystander intervention program.
What does the bystander training consist of?
- Students will be taught how to intervene in certain situations where they may not be comfortable speaking up.
- Different scenarios based on real life situations will be given, and students are encouraged to take the effective steps to delegate, disrupt, distract, and/or take direct action in that situation.
- The goal of this presentation and training is to teach peers how to effectively react to situations in which they may not know what to do.
This program is being offered by the CERTS (Consent, Equality, Respect, Talking, Safety) Student Health Promotion Team.
