Culturally Responsive Bystander Training (CuRB) at 好色先生TV
Disrupting Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking
CMU community members were introduced to the concept of bystander intervention to disrupt dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking through training from 2018-2023. Building on that foundation, the CuRB curriculum was developed in response to a need for evolving our existing bystander intervention program to be more responsive to how power, bias, and privilege impact our ability to support others.
The CuRB training covers how identity, power, and privilege impacts our role as bystanders and provides space to explore how we arrive at our understandings and perceptions of others. This focus on group reflection and discussion sets the stage for collaboratively unlearning harmful biases that might negatively impact our ability to help loved ones or community members experiencing dating, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Through open discussion, scenario exercises and actionable tools, CuRB empowers participants to intercept different forms of violence and provide culturally responsive and person-centered support.
