1. 31 Days of Bystander Intervention Bulletin board with 31 suggestions to help your residents be more effective active bystanders, brought to you by One Act You can put all 31 up at once, or put one up each day to keep residents coming back

2. 1 Offer to watch your friends’ drinks at a party

3. 2 Talk to your friends about their intentions for the night while everyone is sober – do they want to hook up tonight?

4. 3 When you’re ready to go home, don’t let a friend stay at the party alone

5. 4 Offer to walk someone home if they’ve had too much to drink. Bring another person along so you have someone to walk with you later!

6. 5 Suggest an alternative activity, like getting food at a late-night place.

7. 6 Establish a relationship with someone – pretend to be someone they know from class, a club, or high school

8. 7 Spill a drugged drink – all over yourself, the floor, etc. And then ask people to help you clean up if needed!

9. 8 “Accidentally” turn on the lights if you see someone who looks uncomfortable on the dance floor

10. 9 Talk to your friends about what you see and make a plan to intervene together. All it takes to get the conversation started is a text saying, “does this situation seem weird to you?”

11. 10 Get the host/bouncer involved. These people have power over their guests and have the authority to kick people out

12. 11 Dance intervention! If someone looks uncomfortable on the dance floor, dance in between them and their dance partner to give them space to leave

13. 12 Tell someone their wallet or phone was found in the kitchen

14. 13 Tell someone their friend is sick in the bathroom and asking for them. Or tell your friend that YOU feel sick and need them.

15. 14 Photo op! Initiate a group photo to give someone space to get away

19. 18 Strike up a conversation about anything! The weather or UNC sports are always up for grabs.

21. 20 Encourage people to avoid drinking anything with unknown contents. Only let your friends accept drinks which were poured in front of y’all and have not been left unattended at any time.

24. 23 Call someone a cab and chat with them until the cab arrives. Don’t leave them alone.

25. 24 When it’s loud, get close to someone’s ear to ask “Are you okay with this” or “Do you want help?”

28. 27 Find the person’s friends if you don’t know them, and make them aware of the situation.
