Green Dot Bystander Intervention Training

Green Dot training gives students, faculty, and staff practical ways to recognize concerning situations and take safe, effective action. The session covers how to notice early signs of harm, how to support someone who may be at risk, and how to step in using simple strategies that fit your comfort level.

The training is grounded in everyday situations you may see on campus, in residence halls, and in the community. Participants leave with tools they can use right away.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to spot behaviors or situations that may lead to harm
  • Ways to check in with someone safely
  • When to step in yourself, when to get help, and how to use a simple distraction
  • How small actions contribute to a safer, more respectful campus

Who Can Attend

Training is open to all PennWest students, faculty, and staff. No prior experience is needed. Every participant helps strengthen a community where people look out for one another.

Why It Matters

Power‑based personal violence can affect anyone. Learning how to respond gives you the confidence to support others and take action when it matters most.
