Step UP! Bystander Intervention

Have you ever been concerned about a situation and wanted to help... but didn't?

YOU'RE NOT ALONE

This situation is more common than you might think, and is known as the bystander effect. That's why we offer the Step U! Bystander Intervention Program.

Most problematic behaviors involve bystanders. Step UP! training provides a framework explaining the bystander effect, reviews relevant research, and teaches skills for intervening successfully using the 5 Decision Making Steps, the 5 Ds, and the S.E.E.K. Model (Safe; Early; Effective; Kind). Teaching people about the barriers to helping as well as strategies, skills and the determinants of prosocial behavior makes them more likely to help in the future. Now more than ever leaders understand the importance of being an active bystander. The bottom line is many unfortunate incidents are preventable with intervention.
