Open to all staff and faculty, in this training, participants will be provided with the skills and resources needed to intervene when they see harmful, or potentially harmful behaviour including racism, sexual violence, or other forms of harm. Training will take place virtually via Teams from 10-11:30am on Wednesday, October 18th.

Using an Equity focused lens, the objectives of this training are to help participants:

1. Understand and define microaggressions, harassment and harm;
2. Recognize the complex roots of these normalized oppressions;
3. Identify personal obstacles and barriers to intervening safely and effectively;
4. Learn how to safely and effectively apply the 5D Active Bystander Model
