The TAB Training is sponsored by the Town of Lexington and the Human Rights Committee. It is open to residents of Lexington, MA, only. Space is limited
Training Active Bystanders (TAB) teaches how bystanders can interrupt harmful situations and generate positive actions.
TAB is a skill-building process that helps participants know when they are bystanders, to analyze situations, and evaluate consequences. TAB gives bystanders the competencies to create action plans in the moment of need or later. Active bystandership means taking responsible action to help people in need, instead of remaining passive and becoming complicit. It does not mean aggression against the harm doer. TAB is also about responding positively to helpful behaviors, and engaging with people beyond your normal circle.
