Program
Bystander Intervention Training
QUESTION:
"As a bystander what do you do if you observe aggressive, potentially explosive, verbally-assaultive behavior in a shared public space (e.g., on the METRO)?"
As a dispute resolution practitioner you should be able to answer this question. It is not enough to say, "It depends."
This training provides an empowering, baseline-intervention strategy derived from the theories and practice of non-violence and deescalation. All of us should be prepared with tested strategies should a threatening situation arise.
OUR PRESENTER:
Doug Brookman is a Founder and Past President of MCDR. As a nationally recognized facilitator, mediator and trainer, Doug has conducted collaborative planning and problem-solving processes full-time for over thirty years. Mr. Brookman's company, Public Solutions, facilitates effective decision making among divergent interests serving human, technical and political needs in complex public contexts. Doug has designed and conducted thousands of public, stakeholder-driven meetings and collaborative processes.
His work is centered at the intersection of Energy, Environmental and Natural Resources where technology is the driving force. Timely and crucial policy making is the anticipated outcome developed for these several fields, their intersections, and relation to evolving and new technologies.
