The Intervene Bystander Intervention Training was developed at Cornell University. Idaho State University, Gender Resource Center was granted permission to use it in January of 2020.  This training replaced Green Dot and is 1 hour and a half. The training includes seven real life incident video's of bystander intervention. The training is offered over ZOOM. There are set dates for Fall 2023 semester. If anyone on campus would like to request a training on an alternate date, please contact Stephanie Richardson at : richstep@isu.edu, or 208-282-3590. If you wish to have a live training, please be advised that the Gender Resource Center will set the training up in a neutral location on campus. This is so that the training can be set-up in advance and be ready to go.

  • Video: The online 20-minute video Intervene includes brief filmed scenarios demonstrating ways in which student bystanders can successfully intervene in problematic situations. Seven different situations are addressed, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence (emotional abuse), hazing, alcohol emergency, emotional distress, and bias. Characters in the film represent the diverse identities of college student populations including race, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and ability.

  • Workshop: 60-minute workshop the provides an opportunity for students to view the video with others and engage in a facilitated conversation to reflect upon the attitudes and behaviors that influence the process of intervening as an individual or with assistance. Participants also discuss additional related scenarios not included in the film.
