Bystander Intervention

Bystander intervention is a program to raise awareness and provide education regarding responding in situations that exhibit harmful behaviors. Discussion is around developing confidence and motivation when helping peers. Bystander intervention presentations are given in conjunction with alcohol education and Title IX education to all athletes, first year orientation courses, and by request.

Harm Reduction and Prevention

The Center for Student Involvement oversees the UMaine event management process. When issues of risk management, specifically with alcohol use, arise, SWell staff meet with students to go over risk management plans.  While this is a proactive measure, this training is also given as an educational sanction for student groups found in violation of the Student Conduct Code.
