About this event
This session is for students of Memorial University only.
This is an evidence-based intervention adapted for Memorial. It is designed to create a community of shared responsibility to prevent sexual violence and provide guidance on how to safely intervene.
Workshop Objectives:
• Participants will understand the concept of bystander intervention
• Participants will be able to identify a continuum of inappropriate sexual behaviour
• Participants will develop empathy for those who have experienced sexual violence
• Participants will understand their role in bystander intervention and make a commitment to intervene in the case of sexual violence before, during, and after an incident
• Participants will understand their own barriers to bystander intervention and learn techniques to overcome them
• Participants will develop skills to intervene as a bystander
This session is designed to introduce participants to bystander responsibility, help them begin to recognize inappropriate behaviour, and how to intervene.
This program covers topics that are very sensitive and can be disturbing for some.
