Engaging Bystanders in Violence Prevention--Danville

Calling All YOUTH ADVOCATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, TEACHERS, and YOUTH SERVING AGENCIES

May 2009 Regional Meetings

Engaging Bystanders in Violence Prevention

In partnership with the United Way of Danville Area, Children's Home and Aid in Bloomington, and NICASA in Round Lake, the Illinois Center for Violence Prevention is excited to offer this free workshop to service providers and community members. 2.5 CEU’s are available for $15.

Workshop Objectives:

  • Learn what roles bystanders play in an incidence of violence
  • Discover why engaging bystanders is a promising violence prevention strategy
  • Practice strategies that encourage positive bystander behavior

The spring regional meetings will help build individual and community responsibility for violence prevention by educating and empowering people to take action to help stop violence. Participants will learn strategies to engage their constituents as bystanders who can then appropriately intervene. This model has been successfully applied to other forms of violence including bullying, teen dating violence sexual assault, and other types of violence. Teaching youth how to intervene as a bystander and how to support a friend involved in abuse is an effective way to change their knowledge, beliefs and intentions.

Individuals who witness situations that may lead to violence have the choice to do nothing, to contribute to the negative behavior, to de-escalate the situation or offer support to the target. Research shows that youth targets of bullying and harassment rarely seek help from adults. Therefore, it is particularly important for adults who work with youth to know what effective strategies enable peers to help each other.
