Sexual Assault Advocacy And Healthcare Access for Youth

Survivors of sexual violence often access healthcare, both emergent and long-term, as a means to heal and recover from the violence they have experienced.  We know that youth are at risk to experience sexual violence, and that they too will need access to these supportive healthcare services.    This webinar will explore sexual assault advocacy and healthcare access for youth ages 13 – 18.  At what age can a teen consent to healthcare services? Is that information confidential?  What is the advocate’s role?  These are the questions and concerns we will dig into!

The Power of Primary Prevention Education in High Schools

Primary prevention strategies are possible in a high school setting. This webinar will walk you through practical steps of how to develop or implement a prevention program in your area schools.   You will learn the importance of utilizing evidence-based and theory-driven research in comprehensive sexual violence prevention programs.  And you will discover you don’t have to do it all on your own by learning how to draw on external resources to assist in the development, maintenance, and implementation of a prevention program.
