Step UP! Bystander Intervention Training (Virtual)

All first-year students in DCC are required to attend at least one (1) Step UP! Bystander Intervention Training, hosted by UMD CARE. These workshops will be facilitated four times throughout the Fall 2021 semester, including two virtual sessions and two in-person sessions, and will be open to students in both ACES and DCC living-learning programs.

Step UP! is an interactive workshop on bystander intervention facilitated by our amazing team of University Health Center Peer Educators . The college environment yields many opportunities for both intentional and unintentional dangerous, problematic, or violent behavior. During this hour long workshop participants learn to evaluate challenging situations and determine how to safely intervene using one of the 3D’s (Direct, Distract, and Delegate). Step UP! empowers audience members with the awareness skills and tools to help prevent harmful situations from occurring or escalating on our campus. This workshop is approximately 50 minutes and requires full A/V technology for an interactive PowerPoint learning experience.

DCC students must use this event listing to RSVP for this event. Registered attendees will receive Zoom information at least 24 hours prior to the event, via email.
