THANK YOU to the thousands of men that I have worked with throughout my service in the RCN, the RCAF, SOF, Joint and the Cdn Army for treating me with nothing but dignity and respect. And to my fellow women too.

And here's a little more about the bystander training via the Army's info-machine:Haggis said:It's being delivered as "cascade training". Senior commanders get it from higher commanders who then "cascade" (deliver) it to the next level of subordinates. Repeat the process until it gets down to the soldier/sailor/aviator level.
Canadian Army using Bystander Training from TED Talk in support of Operation Honour
Article / December 12, 2016
By: 2Lt Aaron Stryd
The Canadian Army is providing training to all personnel on the bystander approach to the prevention of Harmful and Inappropriate Sexual Behaviour (HISB). The aim of the training is to promote a culture of respect and vigilance within the Canadian Armed Forces which reinforces ethical conduct and prevents abusive behaviour.
The bystander approach was developed by Jackson Katz, founder of the Mentors in Violence Prevention Program and has been taught in organizations such as the United States Marine Corps, New England Patriots, and NASCAR.
Bystander training recognizes that many perpetrators of abusive behaviour are normal people who have been influenced by a culture that accepts, and sometimes promotes, those behaviours. People who are not a perpetrator or victim of abuse frequently remain silent for fear of impacting their career, relationships, or because they feel it isn’t their business. But when bystanders remain silent it promotes a culture which accepts abusive behaviour and allows it to continue.
Katz believes that it is a leadership issue. “"I run a leadership program, "” he said during a TED talk in 2012. “"It can be hard to speak up, "” he acknowledges, it takes people “"with the guts, with the courage, with the strength with the moral integrity to break our complicit silence."”
The Canadian Army’s bystander training reinforces that all Canadian Armed Forces members are leaders in creating a safe and respectful workplace, and that we all have an obligation to speak out.
“ "I am committed to the termination of HISB in the Canadian Army, "” said LGen Wynnyk, Commander of the Canadian Army. “ "Every soldier and every officer needs to be ready and effective bystanders at all levels of the Canadian Army’s chain of command. If you see it, hear it or feel it: do the right thing and report it."”
The training is being delivered through the chain of command. Training is underway with expected completion by January 2017.

Jarnhamar said:A good way to make people take this training less seriously is to try and force everyone to complete it before block Christmas leave.
2 hour sessions with power point slideshows become 25 minute chats just so everyone can get the check in the box. Important training becomes just another pre-leave unit brief.

We still haven't heard squat about it in NAVRES.
If anyone reading this in a senior navy position in Ottawa, what gives?

ARMY ... ARMY ... ARMY
The Canadian ARMY picked up this trg from the US and is running with it.
3. Collective Tasks
a. Phase Three
(6) Ensure all Command Teams are provided information and/or training on how to conduct Bystander Intervention Training within their units
FTFY if your part of the feds is anything like what I've heard other parts of the feds can be like - on a good day.dapaterson said:The briefing material is all available on a DWAN website; if you want to get ahead of the power curve, download it, review it, and start coming up with ideas for delivering the training - so when the inevitable "Oh, get this done by 31 March" email arrives in mid-JanuaryFebruary, you can provide your boss with options.
Lumber said:Ahem..
From the Annex A to the CDS' FRAGO 002 to CDS OP ORDER - Operation Honour
This is not ARMY specific training.
Yes, the ARMY took an already designed training tool and ran with it. I just don't understand how we're already past the Army's "completed by" date without having heard a word about it in the Navy.
