The nature of an emergency is complex; after all, emergencies "emerge" suddenly without warning and typically require immediate attention. Bystanders are often the first line of defense in these situations. Unfortunately, in many situations where help is needed such as health-related emergencies, bullying, sexual misconduct, and bias, the default is to not get involved. The goal of this book is to identify the many obstacles that prevent people from taking action, and then provide evidence-based helping strategies to transform passive bystanders into pro-active responders.
This timely and significant book, Be a Better Bystander: Transforming Passive Observers Into Active Responders, provides a toolbox of practical strategies for academic institutions, residence life personnel, diversity/education/inclusion educators, public health education advocates, and community activists. This book would also make a great supplemental text for courses in social psychology, health psychology, women's studies, and bias-related courses.
