If you experience or witness an interaction that you believe was harmful, please consider the following approach. ​

• Checking In: Take a moment to check in with your colleague/supervisor to assess the situation and determine if more support is required.  
• Calling In vs. Calling Out: Call your colleague/supervisor “IN” for dialogue vs. calling “OUT”” for using harmful language 
• Disrupt the Situation: If someone is being harassed or threatened you can try to distract the harasser or insert yourself into their interaction to help the targeted person get out of the situation.
