Bringing in the Bystander for International students

Register

Bringing in the Bystander (BITB) is an evidence-based bystander intervention program. Instead of focusing on the roles of perpetrator and victim, the interactive BITB curriculum uses a community responsibility approach. It teaches bystanders how to safely intervene during instances where sexual violence, relationship violence, or stalking may be at risk of occurring. Learn more about BITB here. By attending this training, participants will…

• Understand the concept of bystander intervention
• Develop empathy for those who have experienced sexual violence
• Understand their role in bystander intervention, and commit to intervene in the case of sexual violence before, during, and after an incident
• Understand personal barriers to bystander intervention and techniques to overcome them, including the role that factors of identity (i.e., sexual orientation, race, gender identity, etc.) play
• Develop strategies for safely intervening in instances of sexual and relationship violence in ways that fit their given ability and skillset 
• Receive a certificate of completion at the conclusion of the 2-hour training
