Bystander Intervention (Green Dot, coming Spring 2021!)
Green Dot program engages witnesses to interrupt situations that are imminently or potentially high-risk for violence, increases self-efficacy and provides skill building and specific strategies to increase the likelihood that trained individuals will actually intervene. By expanding the role of bystanders beyond reactive, the Green Dot program trains participants to engage in proactive behaviors that model and endorse norms that are incompatible with violence.
Standing in Support: Helping a colleague who has experienced harassment
This educational training provides information about how sexual harassment and violence impact individuals and groups and offers ways to support those who have impacted by harassment and violence.
A leader's guide to creating an equitable work environment
This training aims to provide those in leadership or management roles at VUMC with information on the elements that contribute to equitable and supportive environments and practical steps they can take to engage their colleagues in creating more inclusive and respectful workspaces.
