  7. Key Message #1 • We can offer students private spaces to air their grievances and work toward resolution without an audience influencing their judgment. In our experience, public confrontations never end well.

  8. Key Message #2 • We believe it is not possible for bystanders to play a neutral role when they are witnessing something unsafe. Their mere presence has a negative and sometimes empowering effect. Students who instigate or film will also receive consequences. We need bystanders to leave unsafe situations to find help from an adult. (We do NOT expect bystanders to put themselves in harm’s way.)

  9. Bystanders • Passive- watch something unfold • Involved Bystander- encourage/instigate/film • Upstander- help make something better

  10. Key Message #3 • We think that friends who are truly good friends tip off their parents or other trusted adults when they think their friends are about to put themselves in jeopardy. This isn’t snitching. This is looking out for people who you care about. We will follow up on any tip—named or anonymous—to keep a student safe.
