Our Community, Our Responsibility: The Bystander Intervention Workshop
Bringing in the Bystander is a community-driven workshop that moves us from being passive observers to active protectors. Rather than focusing on the legalities of sexual assault, we focus on the power of the “continuum”—learning how to spot red flags early and step in safely. It’s about building a culture where we all take responsibility for keeping each other safe, before a situation ever escalates.
