STANDING STRONG: Skills for Navigating Bullying & Harassment at Work
Bullying and harassment at work can leave people feeling powerless, isolated, or unsure how to respond.
This workshop uses experiential learning, improvisation, and realistic scenarios to help participants build confidence, practice interventions, and strengthen their voice all in a safe, supportive environment.
Across two interactive sessions, participants explore how to recognize harmful behaviours, respond with clarity and courage, and support colleagues who may be targeted.
