A research group at the University of Washington at Tacoma is going to be conducting focus groups this fall with high school students in public high schools in Tacoma and at Oasis, the local LGBTQ youth drop-in facility. The focus groups will discuss the process of intervening in bullying/dating violence as a bystander. We are looking for some people in their 20’s who might be interested in facilitating some of these focus groups. Sadly, we do not have $$ to pay for anyone, but we can offer course credit, if that would be an incentive. The person would need to have transportation to Tacoma or live down here.
If you know of anyone who is sensitive to issues of bullying and LGBTQ issues, and would like to have a research experience, please contact Taryn Lindhorst:
