Bystander Intervention
July 19, presented by Emma Zevallos
The “Bystander Effect” refers to the phenomenon of people being less likely to involve themselves in situations when others are present. This presentation gives people the tools to safely and effectively step in to defuse potentially harmful situations. Bystander intervention is about preventing and de-escalating potentially violent incidents. It is the willingness to take action and help someone in times of need.
From the information in this program, attendees will:
- Raise awareness of helping behaviors
- Increase motivation to help
- Develop skills and confidence when responding to problems or concerns
- Ensure the safety and well-being of self and others
