Yes - definitely!

Bystander awareness is about:

• people being aware that they are bystanders when they witness bad things happening
• people being aware that as bystanders they have options
• understanding what those options are

Bystander intervention is about:

• acting to intervene in some fashion (talking with a trusted adult is one form of intervention!)

Many people aren't always aware that they are bystanders to bad things because they may not realize that what's going on is bad - or they might believe that other bystanders will intervene instead of them - or they feel uncomfortable intervening in the situation due to societal norms or fears of retribution.

The goal is to help people:

1. recognize when they're bystanders;
2. to know their options; and
3. understand how to safely intervene.
