10 Scenario One of your friends comes to talk to you and is very upset. They end up telling you about an incident that happened last night. Your friend was hanging out with a casual acquaintance they had met a time or two before. They were having a great time, and the acquaintance kept bringing your friend drinks. Before your friend realized it, your friend was really drunk. Your friend started feeling sick, and the acquaintance offered to take your friend home. Your friend agreed and remembers getting into the acquaintance’s car. Your friend doesn’t remember much after that but woke up this morning and believes the acquaintance had sex with them.

11 Scenario Questions What would you do? What does it take to give consent?

12 Bystander Intervention Bystander Skills: Notice an occurrence out of the ordinary. Decide in your “gut” if something is amiss or unacceptable. Ask yourself, “Could I play a role here?” Assess your options for giving help. Determine the potential risks of taking action. Decide whether to act- now or later.
