Presentation Transcript

  1. Ice Breaker • Options: Writing or Interview • Prompt Questions: • What activities are you doing when you are at your best? • Write/talk about the most important person in the world to you.

  2. Stand Up • Watch the Video… • https://vimeo.com/78294857password: OAESV

  3. Stand Up Video • Take a moment and write down your first impressions

  4. Discussion • What is a bystander? • Written only (just for you): • Have you ever experienced or witnessed situations similar to the one depicted in the video?

  5. Discussion • When thinking about that situation, what about it made you know that this situation required a bystander action —what made you have a gut reaction?

  6. Discussion • If it were easy, people would intervene all the time. • But we know that people have a lot of barriers that get in the way of them intervening, even when they think they should. • What barriers might you face taking a bystander action in this or any situation?

  7. Ways to get involved • There are 3 ways to be an active bystander: • Do something yourself • Get someone else to help • Be a distraction

  8. Discussion • Which of the solutions outlined in the video would work for you in this situation? • Would you take those actions if it was your friend you had to confront?

  9. Upstander • An upstander is someone who intervenes in situations that make them uncomfortable, using any of the ways available to them (not just directly confronting someone).

  10. Role Plays • Now as a class come up with similar situations where you might want to intervene, but want to practice. • Break into small groups • Practice three different intervention options: doing something yourself, getting someone to help, or being a distraction.

  11. Wrap Up • Contact OAESV with questions or connect with your local rape crisis center! www.oaesv.org 216-658-1381 info@oaesv.org
