Step UP! Bystander Intervention Program

Step UP! is an award winning, research based, bystander intervention program that educates student-athletes to be proactive in helping others. Teaching people about the determinants of prosocial behavior makes them more aware of why they sometimes don’t help and as a result individuals become more willing to help in the future. The goals of Step UP are to: • Increase knowledge and awareness of helping behaviors. • Increase motivation to help. • Develop skills and confidence when responding to threatening behaviors. • Increase the safety and well being of others.
