GREEN DOT Bystander Intervention Training -- focused on preventing violence and promoting community safety.

What are green dots? Green dots are what we create when we take steps with our words or actions to intervene and prevent someone from using their words or actions to hurt someone else (aka create a red dot). There are different kinds of green dots, reactive, when we step in to prevent a potential red dot from happening, and proactive, things that we do to reduce the chances of red dots ever happening. Please join us October 16th for a training to learn more. CNCAA is collaborating with Willow Rising to offer this free training to increase awareness, knowledge, and skills to prevent violence.

When and Where?? This free training will take place Friday, October 16, 2026 from 8:30am – 12:30pm at the Central Nebraska Council on Alcoholism and Addictions Offices, 3204 College Street, Grand Island. 308-385-5520. Lunch provided and space is limited. To register email [email protected]. Thank you, please feel free to share this invitation with others.

Why do green dots matter? Most of us have either been impacted by power-based personal violence ourselves, or know someone who has. There may have been a bystander who did not intervene, not because they didn’t care, but because they didn’t know what to do. Could something have been done before that moment? Perhaps something that could have prevented there being any risk of violence to begin with?

We want to help more people learn how to look for ways to create green dots.
