Byst<strong>and</strong>er Intervention<br />
Byst<strong>and</strong>er Intervention is a philosophy <strong>and</strong> strategy for<br />
prevention of various types of violence, including bullying,<br />
sexual harassment, sexual assault, <strong>and</strong> intimate partner<br />
violence. Simply put, it's when someone interrupts a<br />
potentially harmful situation. That includes stopping<br />
actions or comments that promote sexual violence.<br />
TSTC encourages members of our community to speak<br />
up <strong>and</strong> say something if they see a potentially harmful<br />
situation.<br />
Five Steps to Accountability<br />

2. Recognize it as a risky situation.<br />
