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.
