We all have a responsibility to do something when we see harassment happening, but too often we freeze.

How do we overcome this tendency? viaSport is now offering special training, and Curl BC encourages all administrators, coaches, and board members to attend thire Bystander Intervention in Sport training. This is a free opportunity provided by viaSport, and will not be recorded for later viewing.

Bystander intervention gives us tools to intervene without compromising our own safety. When we intervene, we don’t just reduce trauma for the person being maltreated. We also start to chip away at the culture that allows maltreatment to be so prevalent.

In this free training, our goal is to give participants the tools to intervene the next time they witness maltreatment in the sports community. These sessions are for everyone: youth participants, coaches, parents, and anyone who wants to get better at speaking up when things aren’t right.

Two training sessions are available:
