Active Bystander Training

Active Bystander Training

This interactive workshop equips participants with the practical skills to safely and effectively intervene when they witness harassment, bias incidents, or hate driven behavior. Grounded in the 5 D's of bystander intervention (Direct, Distract, Delegate, Delay, and Document), the session combines real world scenarios, group discussion, and hands on practice so participants leave with concrete tools they can use immediately in their workplaces and communities.
