在十大正规网赌平台, we are choosing to help prevent violence from occurring by creating an environment of awareness and partnership, where we all look out for one another. With collective change and determination we can shift our culture away from violence and towards one of alliance and advocacy for active bystander intervention.
Attend a Green Dot Bystander Intervention Overview: Are you interested in being more involved in Green Dot at SMC? Consider attending a Green Dot Overview or requesting one on behalf of your group/club/department. The overviews are designed to give you the skills you need in order to do green dots in your everyday life. You will learn to recognize Red Dot behavior and know what Reactive and Proactive Green Dots are and how they can make a difference here at SMC. If you are interested in attending or requesting an overview please email the Green Dot Team at mag7@dalianzuqiu.com.
Green Dot Program General Information
Use the 3 D's: 直接, 委托, and 分散!
直接: Do something yourself (like ask someone to stop what they're doing, or check on someone you might be worried about).
委托: If you can't do something yourself because of your barriers, 请朋友帮忙, 与可信的RA交谈, 一个教练, 教员教员或职员, 或者一个可信的同伴. Tell the bartender to check in or a family friend. Leave an anonymous note for the coach, staff member, etc.
分散: If you don't want to address the situation directly or even acknowledge that you see it, try to think of a distraction that will diffuse the situation or calm things down in the moment. One distraction might be "accidently" spilling a drink; asking to borrow the phone of someone who is in a risky situation; asking for a ride or starting an unrelated conversation.
