It’s On Us. All of us. To prevent sexual assault. To be part of the solution.

What Is Bystander Intervention?
Anyone who sees or hears about harmful behavior, or a high-risk behavior is a bystander.
Bystanders are faced with a choice:
"Do I get involved?” or “Do I mind my own business?"
Bystander Intervention is making an active choice to interrupt the harmful or high-risk behavior. It’s on us. All of us. To interrupt harm. To make St. John’s a safer place.
How Can I Intervene
Have you ever witnessed something you knew wasn’t right? Have you considered getting involved but something stopped you? Have you wanted to help but not known what to do?
By registering for Bystander Intervention Leadership Training (BILT), you will be able to:
- Recognize high-risk and harmful behaviors
- Identify your barriers that stop you from intervening
- Learn tools to safely intervene and interrupt harm
