A bystander can mean different things in different situations. It can be a person seeing bruises on a colleague or an individual hearing screaming from their neighbor’s house. Bystanders all share one thing in common — they often do not know what to do or say when they see signs of abuse.

Recognizing behaviors that may signal intimate partner violence is a critical first step to taking action to prevent violence. During this training, you’ll learn:

• Why people choose not to intervene when witnessing cases of intimate partner violence
• How to develop safe strategies to engage with victims and perpetrators of violence
• What the Bystander Effect entails
• Useful bystander intervention strategies you can use in your community
