3. Safe Environment
Overcoming the bystander effect: The "bystander effect" is when a person is less likely to take action or intervene in an emergency or harmful situation when there are other people around. The more people that are present to witness the emergency or harmful situation, the less likely it is that any one person will take action. Please click the link to view this week's article.
