Try the 3 D's - Distract, Delegate, Direct 

Create a distraction

• Ask the person to go to bathroom with you.
• Take the person to get food or go dance.
• Spill a drink, so they are unable to consume more.

Delegate to get others involved

• Find an authority figure.
• Get a team captain.
• Get a club officer or bouncer.
• Gather friends to take charge.

Directly intervene

• To the person attempting to do harm, say:
  • “Stop!”
  • “Leave them alone.”
  • “Go away.”
• To the person who is at risk of harm: 
  • Ask “Are you okay?” 
  • Assess if the person knows what’s going on? 
  • Check if the person is able to give consent? 
  • (If you wouldn't let them drive, they probably can’t give consent.)

Say something to create space or time alone:

• "I have to use the bathroom."
• "I have my period."
• "I need to throw up."
• "My friend needs me/I can’t leave my friend."

Do something to get help:

• Text a friend to come get you.
• Text a friend to have them call to give you an interruption.
• Call Public Safety for an escort home.
• Track the Late Night Circulator or On-Demand Bus for a ride home

• Unwanted sexual activity.
• Being too drunk to give consent.
• Not feeling safe to say “No.”
• Behaving out of character (change in eating & sleeping patterns, less social, more depressed or anxious).
• Wanting to drop out of school.
• Talking about suicide.
• Engaging in sexual acts with a highly intoxicated partner.
