ACT: Choosing the Right Action in Bystander Intervention

The 'ACT' model is a powerful tool for bystander intervention. It stands for 'A' for 'Acknowledge' the situation, 'C' for 'Choose your best action,' and 'T' for 'Take action.' This guide focuses on the 'C' part of the model: 'Choose your best action.'

Choosing the right action is crucial in bystander intervention. It involves assessing the situation, considering your own safety and abilities, and deciding on the most appropriate way to intervene. This might include:

• Directly confronting the harmful behavior.
• Seeking help from authorities.
• Distracting the perpetrator.
• Offering support to the victim.

The key is to choose an action that is safe, effective, and appropriate for the specific situation. Remember, every intervention matters, and even a small action can make a difference.
