Become a more informed bystander
Active Bystander Training (TAB) helps participants recognize themselves as potential bystanders who can step in when witnessing harmful, isolating or stigmatizing behaviour. It raises awareness about the hesitation to act and encourages proactive responses in the future. The training covers issues like interpersonal violence (e.g., bullying, physical violence, relationship abuse and sexual violence) and signs of loneliness or emotional distress.
On a broader level, this training empowers individuals to address problematic situations using nonviolence, fostering a more caring and supportive community. It inspires personal action and highlights how everyday choices can make a positive difference.
Cost: Pay what you can ($1-$25 recommended).
This event is hosted by First Mennonite Church Vineland and will take place at Vineland United Mennonite Church. The event is open to community members who would like to participate, but is best suited to participants aged 13 and older.
MCC Ontario operates the Training Active Bystander program under a partnership agreement and license with Quabbin Mediation. See here to learn more. Our trainers are equipped through a train-the-trainer workshop in addition to having related experience and education.
