AFSC releases recording of its bystander intervention training webinar

The American Friends Service Committee held an online bystander intervention training webinar on Nov. 16, 2017, and recently posted a recording of the entire training online.  The full video is 80 minutes.  From the AFSC training page:

Watch a recording of our Nov. 16th "Bystander Intervention" webinar. Learn how to intervene in public instances of racist, anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-Trans, and other forms of oppressive interpersonal violence and harassment.

We'll explore "do's and don'ts" of bystander intervention and consider scenarios and how to respond effectively taking the lead from the person being harassed. Learn not only how to intervene on the streets, but how to teach and train others on these methods.
Presented by Lucy Duncan, AFSC director of Friends Relations. This webinar is part of our Sanctuary Everywhere Live! webinar series.

AFSC's page also has the slide deck used during the training.  Here's the link to the webinar landing page:  www.afsc.org/video/webinar-recording-bystander-intervention-training
