Learn How to Defuse Challenging Situations with Bystander Training

Thursday, April 14, 2022

The TRANSFORM Research Center invites you to join a free 3-hour intensive bystander training exclusive for our Rochester community. "Support Over Silence for KIDS" is a call to action that gives community members the skills to confidently defuse challenging moments between a caregiver and their child in public. Nancy L. Weaver, PhD, MPH, Professor of Behavioral Science at Saint Louis University, created this program to educate community members on how to listen empathetically and non-judgmentally to caregivers in tense situations to help deescalate what’s happening in the moment. For your convenience we are offering three dates for this important training - classes will be held via ZOOM. Please choose one:

  • Friday, April 22, 9:00AM-12:00PM (EST)
  • Tuesday, April 26, 1:00PM-4:00PM (EST)
  • Wednesday, May 4, 5:00-8:00PM (EST)
