I'm surprised with all the questions and talk of bystander programs that no one has mentioned a program called Green Dot, or perhaps it has and I missed it. If it hasn't been, I highly encourage folks to take a look at www.greendotkentucky.com. Dorothy Edwards is an amazing woman at the University of Kentucky who developed this program after doing loads of research involving social diffusion theory, diffusion of innovation, as well as bystander literature and perpetrator research. She sought out many respected folks in the field as well to gather information about their research (David Lisak and others).

I have been doing this work since 2001 and for the first time I feel like we've found a program that is true prevention. We had about 30 attendees at the training who represented at least 7 schools in our state. Many of us have plans to begin implementing this fall. This program began at UK and has since spread as a statewide initiative in Kentucky. If that's not an example of buy-in and a step toward shifting a culture, I don't know what is.
