Have you ever witnessed harassment and hesitated to intervene? Bystander intervention training, like defensive driving, gives practical do’s and don’ts and reduces the time it takes to move from noticing a problem to effective action. This training, hosted by members of the Mountain Anti-Racist Self-Education Group, is based on tested techniques and has been tailored to scenarios you may encounter in our mountain communities. Come practice your active bystander skills in a supportive environment! Feel free to pass the word and invite others who want to learn to be better allies.

 

 The first scenario will give us practice in the “5D’s” of bystander intervention (Direct, Document, Distract, Delegate, and Delay), while the second will give us a chance to try “calling in” conversations. The training will be so much better for all of us if you join us!
