31 Days of Bystander InterventionBulletin board with 31 suggestions to help your residents be more effective active bystanders, brought to you by One Act
You can put all 31 up at once, or put one up each day to keep residents coming back
2Talk to your friends about their intentions for the night while everyone is sober – do they want to hook up tonight?
4Offer to walk someone home if they’ve had too much to drink. Bring another person along so you have someone to walk with you later!
6Establish a relationship with someone – pretend to be someone they know from class, a club, or high school
7Spill a drugged drink – all over yourself, the floor, etc. And then ask people to help you clean up if needed!
9Talk to your friends about what you see and make a plan to intervene together. All it takes to get the conversation started is a text saying, “does this situation seem weird to you?”
10Get the host/bouncer involved. These people have power over their guests and have the authority to kick people out
11Dance intervention! If someone looks uncomfortable on the dance floor, dance in between them and their dance partner to give them space to leave
13Tell someone their friend is sick in the bathroom and asking for them. Or tell your friend that YOU feel sick and need them.
15Real talk – tell someone they are being creepy and should stop or leave the party (bring a friend if you’re intimidated)
20Encourage people to avoid drinking anything with unknown contents. Only let your friends accept drinks which were poured in front of y’all and have not been left unattended at any time.
21Sometimes calling the cops or threatening to do so is the most effective thing – it might be a “party foul,” but it could save someone from sexual assault or rape
25Keep your friends in your sights. Don’t let them go to a private location with someone they just met when they are drunk and can’t consent.
28When you go out, go with a group of friends. Arrive together, check in with each other throughout the evening, and leave together.
