Jeffco CTC is offering a FREE Bystander Intervention training, facilitated by Regan Byrd, as well as a debrief session to allow training attendees additional time and space to ask questions, discuss and clarify concepts, practice applying concepts, practice healthy conflict and engagement with fellow participants, and build trust.
The Bystander Intervention Training is for anyone who would like information on how to best employ bystander intervention techniques, especially in conjunction with allyship practice. Bystander intervention is the practice of disrupting harm and providing help to someone in need and overcoming the bystander effect, which often prevents people from disrupting harm when other people are present.
Please register by end the of day on January 15, 2026.

Call to Action
| | |
At the 2025 Youth Town Hall, Jefferson County youth said that enthusiastic consent in a healthy relationship:
- Is a clear and eager "yes"
- Is more than verbal
- Goes beyond sex
- Muse be a sober "yes"
- Can be withdrawn
- Must not be coerced
| | Communicate to your teen that consent is necessary and that there are resources available to learn more. Love is Respect is the national resource to disrupt and prevent unhealthy relationships and intimate partner violence by empowering young people through inclusive and equitable education, support, and resources. | | |
