Undergraduate Trainings
Bringing in The Bystander
Bringing in The Bystander (BITB) is BU’s primary sexual violence prevention program. BITB is an interactive training that raises awareness about the prevalence of sexual assault and what we as members of the BU community can do to prevent it.
By the end of BITB, we hope participants will feel empowered to identify themselves as pro-social bystanders who have a role in safely intervening in situations that may lead to a harmful outcome such as sexual assault.
Bystander Intervention Booster
Bystander Intervention Booster is a one-hour follow-up program for students who have already attended Bringing in the Bystander. In this training, students discuss the obstacles of intervening in difficult situations, and brainstorm realistic options for how to intervene.
One Love: Behind the Post
Billions of photos are posted to social media every day, but you can’t always see the big picture through the small ones, especially when it comes to unhealthy relationships. Behind the Post is your go-to workshop for educating about digital consent and social media.
This Dating Life: Relationship Training
This Dating Life educates participants on the key components of a healthy relationship, how to have healthy boundaries, and how to identify signs of unhealthy and abusive relationships. Participants will walk away from the program feeling more empowered to identify if a relationship is healthy, unhealthy, or abusive. The training also provides participants with resources and tools on how to get help.
Leading for Change: Transforming Campus Culture Around Substance Misuse and Sexual Misconduct
Leading for Change is a training and support series that helps student leaders prevent sexual misconduct and substance misuse.
The premier training introduces students to the Prevention Framework™, a public health approach that is widely used to address substance misuse and sexual misconduct. Students discuss the challenges of implementing solutions, learn how to navigate those challenges, and leave with tools to share with their student organizations.
After attending the premier training students are invited to connect with SARP and SHS to support with identifying and implementing tailored intervention to support the unique needs of their community needs.
Yes! Consent & Sex Positivity Training
This training is an opportunity for students to discuss the impact of the messages they have received about sex, challenge the unhealthy ones, and replace them with messages centered on sex-positivity and consent. Participants will discuss current issues and learn skills that will help them identify when consent is present and how to respect the boundaries of potential sexual partners.

Participants have an open space where they can frankly talk about issues surrounding male allyship. The series is a collaboration between ARROWS, SARP, GWISE, and WISEguys.

Interrupt: A Training for Graduate Students
Graduate students, especially doctoral candidates, face a unique set of challenges when confronted with sexual misconduct. Power differentials, dual roles, gender-based harassment, and the interpersonal dynamics that often exist in a department or cohort can contribute to difficult situations.
Interrupt is an interactive training designed to help graduate students identify opportunities, and build the skills, to Interrupt sexual misconduct. In this 75-minute training, participants will
- Develop a shared understanding of sexual misconduct
- Think through a step-by-step framework to help identify interruption opportunities
- Apply interruption strategies to realistic scenarios where sexual misconduct is directed either at yourself or others
- Identify sexual misconduct response and prevention resources
