What this episode covers
Seemingly every newscast these days features cell phone video of one horrible incident after another. It got Annabelle thinking, “What would I do if I were in the shoes of one of these bystanders? Anything?” This week, Laura and Annabelle report back after attending bystander intervention training. It turns out, there are lots of ways to intervene and help victims of harassment that don’t involve martial arts or weapons training.
