Green Dot Bystander Training on February 1st

UW Students,
We need your help to reduce power-based violence on campus! We believe that natural student leaders, like yourself, are in a position to use peer influence to change the world we live in. If you believe that one person experiencing acts of violence is too many, then Green Dot will give you the skills to do something about it.

Green Dot is a growing movement on campus. A Green Dot is any action that reduces the risk of violence in the moment, supports survivors or creates a culture less tolerant of power-based personal violence. A Green Dot is your individual choice to make our campus safer. A Green Dot is signing up for this winter’s Bystander Training.

Follow the link below to sign up for the training on February 1st from 10am-4pm in Alder Hall. At the training you will learn specific skills about how to do green dots, how to recognize red dots, and examine your personal barriers. The training is paid for by the university, snacks are provided with a catered lunch, and you will gain confidence in your ability to change our culture here at UW by being an active bystander.

“No one has to do everything, but everyone has to do something.”
See you there!
