Aware Awake Alive

As St. Patrick's Day nears, we want to remind you to plan ahead and look out for others. Call for help if you witness a potentially harmful situation you can't intervene and handle yourself. Don't count on being lucky, be safe! #BeAnUpstander #BeTheLifeline #StPatricksDay

Imagine the difference even one person can make by standing up for others... Be an Upstander, not a Bystander. #BeAnUpstander #StandUp #WITHUS #BystanderIntervention

Day 5: Know What To Do Bystander efficacy is about a bystanders’ confidence in their ability to successfully carry out the necessary interventions in a given situation, which is critical in motivating action. #UpstanderWeek #BeTheLifeline bit.ly/2RnEuaJ

Day 6: Take Action To Help This step can be one of the most challenging because despite your internal assessment and acknowledgement of the problem, actually moving yourself into action is where these social risks for the bystander become real. bit.ly/365MDog

DAY 2: Notice the Situation To notice the situation, we have to be intentional about how we show up in settings where problems occur. Knowing the signs of alcohol poisoning can help prepare you to notice when a night of casual drinking becomes an emergency bit.ly/2qVgpgR
