Virtual: Bystander Intervention to Support the LGBTQIA+ Community
https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VUoI6ZAzRrqYxq2cmOvgvg#/registration
This interactive training, brought to you by Right To Be, in partnership with the NYC Commission on Gender Equity and the Mayor’s Office of Equity and Racial Justice, will teach you the 5Ds of bystander intervention methodology and how these strategies can be used to support the LGBTQIA+ community. We’ll start by talking about the types of disrespect that LGBTQIA+ folx are facing right now using a tool we call the “spectrum of disrespect.” You’ll learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities. We’ll talk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening. We’ll have time at the end for practice, and you’ll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see anti-LGBTQIA+ harassment.
