I just read this article about the increading movement to provide training and awareness to the bystanders regarding, in this article’s case, violence prevention. If there was a larger press to educated the bystanders as to the tools and choices they have when faced with an incident of violence and/or bullying, the bystanders would be better equipped to make a positive change in their environment.
