BDS Insight began offering SHARP, Suicide prevention, and Domestic Violence training in 2014. There is increased social science evidence that bystander education and resource awareness can have measurable impacts on decreasing sexual assaults, suicides, and domestic violence. Training can increase bystander intervention to respond proactively, and decrease stigma associated with reporting crisis events that have occurred.
Military branches, colleges and universities, and programs serving young adults are under increasing pressure to respond proactively to protect and inform their members of how crisis events such as sexual assault, suicide, domestic violence and inter-cultural conflicts can be responded to and prevented. Far from being a single point of contact or office responsibility, a whole community approach is most effective. Multimedia and engaging presentations are created for specific communities to "prepare by performance." Using crisis trained professional directors, writers, and diverse actors, BDS Insight crafts performances that highlight evidence-based approaches to a variety of challenging community events. Guided by resilience expertise and inspired by Viewpoints perspectives, our performances not only inform but equip members with specific skills to respond and prevent tragic events. Client engagements can be customized to allow for "Train-the-trainer" delivery, a multi-year commitment that results in greatest impact throughout a community. If your organization is seeking to respond and prepare for SHARP, Suicide, DV, or Inter-cultural conflicts, we welcome the opportunity to customize a performance event today. |
