Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Shaffer, Jyl (shaffej2)" <>]

I’ve used Green Dot, Step Up, and Bringing in the Bystander. I really like BITB. Without any offense to the other major curricula out there right now, I think BITB has the best approach. I especially like the emphasis on engaging community members on their role in changing the everyday cultural norms that facilitate sex and gender-based discrimination, harassment, and violence. They certainly talk about engaging in the moment when you see a concerning incident, but I really appreciate their emphasis on each person making their own spaces free of violence. They give you a couple different real case studies to use as well, which I really like as a way to bring the subject matter home, especially for student athletes.

 

The folks at Prevention Innovations have been great to work with, and I really liked their train the trainer event. I can’t say enough good about the program and their staff.

Subject: Bringing in the Bystander vs. Step Up

 

Everyone,

 

One of our student support programs has received a grant to train our campus to facilitate the Step Up bystander intervention curriculum across a range of areas of student concern (sexual assault, suicide, alcohol abuse, etc). We have also been approached by some other in-state institutions who are facilitating a statewide Bringing In the Bystander training, and have invited us to participate.

 

Frankly, I’m not sure about the direction to take. I’m looking for input from anyone who has experience with one of both of these curricula, regarding pros and cons.

 

I appreciate any information! Thanks!
