Bystander intervention refers to the act of taking necessary actions or being an advocate for someone in need to prevent escalation of conflicts to contribute to a safe, supportive, and positive environment for everyone involved. The purpose is to help empower individuals to effectively counteract any workplace microaggressions, harassment, and discrimination. Attendees will learn about preventing harmful situations, creating a safer environment, empowering others, building community and trust, and changing social norms. This will encourage attendees to be advocates in their workplaces for fostering both a feeling of community and a responsibility to create a culture of looking out for one another's well-being.
