Bystander Intervention for Today’s Workforce

It’s easy to live solo and be out of touch with things that don’t impact you directly, but acting in selflessness and intervening is a powerful way to show compassion and kindness to those around you. In this course, former border patrol agent and peace team trainer Jennifer Tenorio shares her approach to compassionate and authentic intervention. Jennifer first reflects on what it means to be a bystander, and the role you’d play in an intervention based on your identity and the conflicts you’ve faced. She then reviews the vital skills required to successfully intervene. Jennifer goes on to review effective methods, phrases, and considerations for you to leverage when you’re faced with an intervention. Finally, she covers how you can reflect upon the intervention after the fact, and how to practice self-care after doing such significant work. You’ll complete this course with increased clarity of the what, why, and how of bystander intervention.
