Bystander Intervention Training
When in the presence of offensive conduct, bystanders may, for a variety of reasons, choose not to get involved; this is known as the “bystander effect.” This training module defines the concepts of the bystander effect and bystander intervention theory; helps attendees recognize the importance of intervention; proposes strategies for when and how they may safely intervene; explains the impact of bystander intervention on positive, professional workplace culture; and applies bystander intervention techniques through instructor-guided scenarios.
The speakers:
Talia Monkou, Workplace Rights Specialist in the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights (OCWR), is responsible for developing educational materials and facilitating training sessions to inform covered legislative branch employees and employing offices of their rights and responsibilities under the Congressional Accountability Act. Prior to working with the OCWR, Talia worked as a Staff Attorney in the Office of General Counsel at Bowie State University, where she was responsible for drafting anti-discrimination policies, reviewing contracts, and providing state-mandated training to faculty, staff, and students on subjects related to harassment, discrimination, and accessibility. Talia is a graduate of Howard University and the University of Maryland Carey School of Law.
Bill Lipsky is the other Workplace Rights Specialist with the OCWR. Before joining the OCWR, Bill served as a Magistrate in the Virginia court system. As a member of the judiciary, Bill was responsible for interpreting and applying a variety of civil and criminal laws, as well as engaging with legal professionals, institutional stakeholders, and members of the public to educate and inform them of the law’s protections, prohibitions, remedies, and procedures. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland and his law degree from the George Mason University School of Law.
