    • Participate in community planning and safe school planning.
    • Provide trainings on effective bystander intervention.
    • Be a positive role model.
    • Build relationships with youth in the community.
    • Start a safe community youth group.
    • Support a work culture and personal lifestyle that promotes respect and safety.
    • Ensure that there are legal and social consequences for perpetration.
