Stepping Up: A Focus on Facilitator Development

Pages 218-229 | Published online: 24 May 2016
 

Abstract

This article examines the impact on peer facilitators in Stepping Up, a dating violence prevention program at a Canadian university. A focus group held eight months following the delivery of the program determined the personal impact of involvement in the program. Results indicate that peer facilitators experienced personal growth as leaders on their campus, including a newfound ability to be change agents through bystander intervention.
