Behind the Scenes Announces 2024-2025 Free Bystander Intervention Trainings
Bullying, harassment, and intimidation in the workplace are unfortunately common occurrences in all sectors of the entertainment industry. For many, these are everyday stressors that are well known but rarely addressed.
How many times have you seen a co-worker bullied or harassed and felt like you couldn’t say or do something to safely intervene for fear of reprisal or even losing work? Would you like to feel prepared to safely intervene on behalf of yourself or another?
In this free 90-minute webinar presented by Behind the Scenes you will learn five easily accessible tools for use in any workplace to intervene without the worry of retaliation. Entertainment industry specific scenarios will help you understand how to choose tools to match your comfort level and include ways to help protect yourself and others in the future.
Upcoming 2024-2025 dates are October 20, January 27, April 27 and July 28. The webinar is free but advance registration at btshelp.org/bystander is required in order to receive the zoom login. Behind the Scenes continues to partner with Right To Be to present these ongoing, interactive webinars which are sponsored by the IATSE International and are open to all entertainment industry workers.
This webinar is offered as part of an ongoing “Stop Bullying” campaign by the BTS Mental Health Initiative. Available resources include downloadable materials to raise awareness of bullying behavior, actions that can be taken to mitigate harm to yourself and/or others, as well as sample policies and procedures for your workplace.
