How to Intervene Safely as a Bystander – Free Training
How can we act when we witness maltreatment if we don’t know what to do?
Would you know what do in this situation?
To contribute to a positive culture, we can all improve our communication skills, and also feel empowered to do something when conflict arises. Sign up for the Bystander Intervention Training below to find out how.
We all have a responsibility to create a safe environment, but we often don’t know what to do when faced with a situation that may compromise our own safety.
Bystander intervention gives individuals tools to intervene the next time they witness harmful behaviour in the sports community. The training will equip you with the five strategies for intervention so you leave feeling more prepared to intervene successfully and safely.
When we intervene, we don’t just minimize the impact on the person being harmed.
We also start to shift the culture towards one that prioritizes respectful sport experiences that are safe for everyone.
Alone we can’t shift the culture — but together — our actions matter.
