(The UTSA Bystander Intervention Initiative)

As part of a wider UT System initiative, our program coordinates and provides bystander education opportunities to the UTSA community through training, events, and social media. We encourage students to recognize potentially harmful situations and to respond in a way that could positively influence the outcome. Our bystander education efforts aim to h

elp prevent sexual violence, su***de, high-risk drinking, and more. Beaks Up Speak Up promotes community responsibility using the UT System's three action steps: RECOGNIZE potential harm, CHOOSE to respond, and take ACTion.
