Dear Engaged Bystander:  I was talking with a friend who is dealing with bullying issues in the middle school where she works.  She sees the issues of bullying and sexual violence as intertwined.  It was a welcome reminder that on the ground, all of these issues affect each other. 
 
One resource that I recently reviewed was an online course about dating violence -- Veto Violence.  The site may not introduce you to a lot of new ideas or innovative thinking, but it seems to do a great job of covering all of the basics. It also builds upon the assumption that we all have a role in preventing teen dating violence -- WE have a responsibility to change the norms.  A perfect bystander story.   And the website focuses on a variety of issues that we usually deal with quite separately.  For that alone, it is worth looking at how integrated ALL of these issues can be. 
 
If you see postings that are worth sharing, please do send them along.
 
warmly
