Bystander Intervention:
In the Stronger and Safer Together Bystander Intervention Training Workshop, the goal is to give you the tools you need to safely and effectively intervene to make our campus safer, more welcoming, and more inclusive. By the end of the workshop, you will be able to: Identify what bystander intervention is; Identify campus situations where you might want a bystander to intervene; Know bystander intervention strategies. After learning the basics of bystander intervention in the Stronger and Safer Together Bystander Intervention Workshop, we hope you will attend some of our other trainings that focus on specific topics. In these sessions, we will dive deeper into a topic to learn about the topics and how the bystander intervention strategies can be applied to these situations. Special topics include sexual assault and violence, interpersonal violence, substance abuse, discrimination, hazing, safety, mental health and risk of harm, academic dishonesty, and good citizenship.
SAFE & TSAFE training: SAFE training prepares you to become an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. We address the ever changing terminology in the community, the messages that are generated in society about LGBTQ+ lives, the coming out process, and other skills necessary to being a successful ally. Learning goals for this training include: Being sensitive to various identities of our students, faculty and staff; Understanding the challenges of being asexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, questioning in a predominately heterosexual and cisgender society; Confronting acephobia, biphobia, homophobia, and transphobia in all its guises through educational means; Providing support to LGBTQ+ students, staff and faculty; Promoting and acknowledge safe places for LGBTQ+ individuals; Increasing awareness of self-defined LGBTQ+ allies.
