A Bystander Empowerment workshop focuses on identifying challenges to intervening, identifying problematic situations, and practicing safe and effective ways to act as an Empowered Bystander.
The Empathetic Responder workshop is an exciting program that was initially developed for military audiences.  Powerful role-playing exercises put participants in the midst of "what if" situations concerning people disclosing an incident of sexual assault.  Participants will leave this workshop with a range of practical and effective ways to listen, respond, and help survivors identify and locate services.
