The 3 D's of being an Active Green Dot Bystander are three reactive actions you can take when intervening. Direct. Delegate. Distract. Here are some examples of how to intervene by Distracting.

Create a distraction that interrupts the situation: • Say you are feeling sick & need help • Talk loudly while looking at the direction of incident • Talk about unrelated topic after incident • Abruptly change the subject

Remember, safety is essential. Trust your gut feelings and only intervene in ways that feel safe to you and for all involved.

The 3 D's of being an Active Green Dot Bystander: DELEGATE 🤝

Delegate means involving others and getting help when you witness harmful behavior. Here are ways to delegate safely: • Report the behavior to appropriate authorities • Tell a mutual friend and suggest they go help • Ask the host to say something or remove the person • Involve someone with authority

Remember, the 3 D's (Direct, Delegate, Distract) are reactive actions you can take when intervening. Safety is essential - trust your gut feelings and intervene in ways that feel safe for you, and everyone involved.

Being an Active Green Dot Bystander: DIRECT Intervention 🟢

When you witness harmful behavior on campus, you have the power to make a difference. The first of the 3 D's is DIRECT intervention - addressing the situation head-on when it's safe to do so.

Direct intervention examples: • "I don't appreciate that language" • "Are you okay? Want to talk privately?" • "Stop what you're doing" • "What's going on here?"

Remember: Your safety comes first. Trust your instincts and only intervene in ways that feel safe for you, and everyone involved. Every action, no matter how small, can create positive change in our campus community.

CARE has moved our virtual Green Dot Bystander Certification for Staff and Faculty!

A Green Dot is any choice, behavior, or action that promotes safety for everyone and communicates intolerance for power-based personal violence in our community. You may ask yourself, “How do I intervene in a situation?” or “What role can I play in preventing violence?”

This training is designed specifically for UCI faculty and staff who want to build skills to support students, colleagues, and the broader campus community. Whether you’re in the classroom, advising students, or working behind the scenes, your actions matter.

August is National Bystander Intervention Month, and you have the power to help end intimate partner violence in your community! We at CARE are proud to highlight our Green Dot Bystander Intervention Program. Power-based personal violence will end when enough people take singular actions to help end it.

Change happens as people become able to identify risky situations and take steps to confront, interrupt, or prevent acts of power-based personal violence. Our Green Dot Bystander Intervention Training is an interactive program designed to equip UCI students, staff, and faculty with the knowledge and skills needed to be engaged and proactive bystanders working to end violence in our community.

Together, we can create a safer campus for everyone. Every action matters, and every voice counts. 💚
