 __________________________________________________________________________
 ___________________________________________\nActive Bystanders: Skills-bas
 ed intervention training\nAre you concerned for those who face hate speech
  and violence? Unsure how to respond if you witness verbal or physical hat
 e?\n\nWe all have opportunities to interrupt potentially harmful situation
 s. And we all have concerns that can prevent us from stepping up. We may f
 ear for own safety\, worry about being embarrassed\, think it’s not our 
 business\, be afraid of escalating the situation\, or something else.\n\nS
 kills are the antidote to those concerns. In our training\, you’ll deve
 lop skills to assess a situation and choose a response. We teach creative 
 strategies for responding to harassment and ways to de-escalate aggressive
  behavior.\n\nIn our workshops\, you’ll engage in hands-on practice that
  builds on what you already know. We focus on:\n\n 	A social-justice frame
 work for understanding the role of bystanders in interrupting oppression\n
  	Reasons to intervene when you see a problem\, and reasons not to\n 	Over
 coming barriers to intervening\n 	The 5 Steps of Bystander Intervention\n 
 	4 Tools for Intervening\n 	And lots of practice!\n\nWhen you leave the tr
 aining\, you’ll be more able to overcome the barriers to stepping up an
 d have practical skills for doing so.\n\nWe believe in building a culture 
 of active bystanders through whose actions we reduce verbal and physical v
 iolence and oppression\, while promoting community and respect.\n\nGet tra
 ined and equip yourself with ways you can play a role in stopping harassme
 nt and violence.\n\nDefend Yourself has more than 20 years of experience t
 raining some 25\,000 people in protecting themselves against harassment an
 d abuse and in training people to defend others.\n\nWant to learn more? C
 ontact us to gain skills you’ll use for the rest of your life.
