Bystander Support Workshop - Sunday, August 2, 11am - 2 pm
This workshop is open to all genders, ages 12+. 
​It is led by two instructors: within the scenarios, one is a personal coach and the other plays the role of aggressor.

The workshop explores “self-defense” - the ability to observe what is going on, assess risks, and access a range of tools that maximize safety and freedom - and applies it to situations where another person is under attack. Participants learn and drill skills relevant to both situations, and then practice bystander support* in simulated scenarios with a mock aggressor. ​

*IMPACT Chicago emphasizes bystander support (i.e., the target of violence is at the center of decision-making) over bystander intervention (i.e., a bystander steps in to redirect the action based on what they think is best)
