Bystander Intervention Training

Why Bystander Intervention?

There are more people willing to help than those causing harm. By motivating and providing realistic options to intervene, bystander intervention training has a strong track record of increasing the frequency individuals intervene when they see harassing behaviors.

Not your typical training experience. Workshops are positive, highly interactive, and designed disarm and engage even the most skeptical participants.

Survey respondents reported that 69% of the time unwanted behaviors occurred one or more bystanders were present.

In this dynamic, 90-minute training (virtual or in-person) facilitated by The Hollywood Commission, participants will learn to:

Recognize a range of harassing behaviors based on race, sex, power, and other organizational dynamics.

Identify realistic ways they can intervene despite barriers such as uncertainty, fear of retaliation, or pressure to remain silent.

Identify small daily actions they can take within their daily routines to contribute to a safer, more equitable workplace.
