An active bystander is someone who not only witnesses a situation but takes steps to speak up or step in to keep a situation from escalating. This training teaches effective skills for witnesses to assess, de-escalate, and diffuse a problematic situation. This practice session focuses on situations when an individual appears to be acting out of substance use intoxication and how to assess possible responses. An active bystander is someone who not only witnesses a situation but takes steps to speak up or step in to keep a situation from escalating or to disrupt a problematic situation.
