About the Training

Training Active Bystanders (TAB) is an interactive, skill-building workshop that helps community members recognize harmful situations, evaluate options, and take safe, effective action instead of remaining passive. Offered by experienced practitioners at Quabbin Mediation.

When you see something that is not right, not fair, or not just, you have a moral obligation to do something or say something about it.

— John Lewis
