Have you ever been in a situation where someone needed help, but you didn’t do anything?

Have you ever wanted to help a friend, but you didn’t know how?

Campus Health at the University of Arizona has been awarded a two year U.S. Department of Education grant to make our campus a safer place to live, work and study. Step Up! teaches the UA community how one person can make a difference to prevent dangerous situations.

The UA Campus Health Service adapted Step Up!, a national leadership training program developed in part by Becky Bell of Arizona Athletics and the Commitment to an Athlete's Total Success (C.A.T.S.) program. Bell created the Step Up! program in collaboration with the National Collegiate Athletic Association and national experts as a pro-social behavior and bystander intervention program that educates students to be proactive in helping others.

Campus Health Service has taken the concepts of Bell’s Step Up! program to prevent interpersonal violence on campus. Specific topics include: sexual assault, relationship violence, hazing, discrimination/hate crimes, anger, and alcohol’s role in violence.
