The #MeToo movement has shed light on the widespread prevalence of sexual violence, including in scholarly and professional communities. In this 90-minute training, participants will learn how to identify sexual violence, how to support survivors, and how to safely intervene as a bystander to prevent sexual violence. This training will equip public history and museum professionals with the skills to become engaged bystanders in their workplace and communities in order to prevent sexual harassment and assault.

"From #MeToo to Prevention: Bystander Intervention Training for Public History and Museum Professionals" is a sexual violence bystander intervention training designed for public history and museum professionals. The training content includes background information on sexual violence and interactive participant exercises. The training also provides resources and advice on how museum and public history professionals can connect with local sexual violence experts in their community.
