Revision of Upstander Training Initiatives
Findings in this brief highlight that there exists a vast diversity of training initiatives from public and private institutions in multiple formats, directed specifically to LGBT+ youth or to students in general, with an upstander approach or not. Many proposals are not evidence-based and/or have not demonstrated improvements, yet. Some do have a research-informed approach, and some have proven their effectiveness. They show short to long-term impacts on increasing subjective and objective efficacy and efficiency in upstanding behaviors, in teachers, other professionals, and students themselves.
