Training Active Bystanders (TAB) teaches how bystanders can interrupt harmful situations and generate positive actions instead of remaining passive. In a community, active bystandership transforms the culture into one where harmful behavior is not tolerated. It fosters more supportive and respectful interactions, strengthens community bonds, and promotes a safer, more inclusive environment for everyone. Since 2008, TBA workshops have been implemented in over 20 school districts with 3,200 community and student trainers presenting the workshops to more than 32,000 people regularly and globally.
You will leave this interactive workshop with skills that will empower you to make a positive difference in your community and the world. Participants will learn how to analyze situations when harm is happening and the skills needed to respond effectively.
This event is part of the Town of Amherst Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programming. Participants are invited to engage in DEI-led civic conversations that foster a welcoming environment for the Amherst community.
