Sponsored by DC Peace Team: www.dcpeaceteam.org

This training focuses on effective skills for assessing, de-escalating, and diffusing a harmful or inappropriate behavior (bullying, harassment, physical violence) in public actions and ordinary daily situations in our community. It provides participants with the tools they need to quickly recognize when they are bystanders, evaluate the consequences for everyone involved, and take action. Our training sessions promote nonviolent, safe alternative approaches for defusing harmful situations and engaging with the aggressor and those subject to harmful acts.

This is an interactive, participatory, beginner’s workshop designed for those that may have none or little prior studies of bystander intervention.
