Uplands Evening Workshop - Supporting Each Other: Everyday Bystander Action

Join PSP Health Promotion, Recreation, Military Family Services and other local partners for a 2-hour skill building workshop on learning to recognize harmful or concerning behaviours and respond in ways that support safety, dignity, and community well‑being. This session explores why people intervene (or don’t), how power and context shape bystander choices, and practical ways to safely step in. 

What we’ll cover: 

• The purpose and impact of bystander action 

• Barriers and motivations to intervening 

• The 5 Ds of bystander intervention 

• Real‑life scenarios with discussion and resources 

You don’t have to be perfect to make a difference—every action that interrupts harm or supports someone matters. 

*Before registering, please keep in mind that the material presented will include examples and themes related to family violence and racism that may be sensitive or emotionally activating.
