How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Peer-Led Bystander Intervention Modelmethodology: peer-led_bystander_interventionBy using student peers to deliver bystander intervention training, we increase engagement and effectiveness in promoting campus safety and reducing high-risk behaviors, because peer credibility and relatability foster trust, authenticity, and greater receptivity to behavior change.
- Practical, Scenario-Based Intervention Skills Trainingmethodology: practical_bystander_interventionBy teaching concrete, low-barrier techniques such as distraction, checking in, and group redirection, we enable safer bystander intervention in real-world social settings, because practical, non-confrontational methods increase the likelihood of action and reduce fear of misstepping.
