In both professional and everyday settings, we may witness situations that aren't right—whether it's hearing discriminatory comments, witnessing harassment, or a person may tell us that they have experienced assault. We may also notice signs of mental or physical distress, or harmful alcohol or drug use in a friend. While most of us want to help, it’s often unclear how to take meaningful action.

UC Medical and Counselling Centre is presenting a FREE 2-hour workshop on bystander intervention for University of Canberra staff. This training helps to identify safe and effective strategies in common bystander situations, including discrimination, bullying, sexual assault, harassment, intimate partner violence, mental health issues, and the harmful use of drugs and alcohol.

The workshop explores how challenging situations affect our perception and decision-making, and offers techniques for taking clear action under pressure. The training also discusses the variety of services that can assist in the community and on campus, including the university’s reporting process.
