The Bringing in the Bystander Program is one of the main branches of Humber's sexual violence prevention and education efforts for our students. Through discussion of issues and role-playing of common sexual violence scenarios, participants come to understand how they play a part in preventing sexual and relationship violence, how they can help survivors get the help and support they need, and how they contribute to the creation of a campus climate that reflects a commitment to safety for all. This workshop takes a peer-based approach, typically facilitated by our Consent Peer Educators as well as a group of University of New Brunswick (UNB) Nursing program students as part of their academic credit.

We are thrilled to have delivered 24 sessions to 482 students over the course of the 2019-2020 academic year in partnership with the Student Leadership Summit, Faculty of Community & Social Services, and UNB Nursing program. When asked about their experience with the training, some of the feedback shared by the students includes:

"I learned how much of an impact you may have on a situation if you intervene."

"I loved how interactive this session was and how well the audience responded."

"Extremely educational and eye opening, appreciated the rawness. Important topic that must be more openly spoken about!"
