Let's Talk About...Emerging Perspectives and Important Trends for Educators Concerning Sexual Violence Prevention

This in-person event is designed for K-12 school mental health staff, teachers, and administrators who want to be educated on the issues surrounding sexual violence, consent, social media, and sex between teens. As an educator, it can feel overwhelming to constantly discern when, where, and how to best offer support to your students and their peers. Throughout this session, school staff will engage in an interactive discussion that first highlights the most prevalent issues currently leading to the perpetration of sexual violence, learn about emerging trends in how students from K-12 perceive this topic, and identify immediate and ongoing actions that can help prevent sexual violence. This three-pronged approach will offer educators a better understanding of the nature of this topic and their specific roles around advocacy, education, and survivor support. Data utilized in this program will emphasize an examination of a localized version of the issue as opposed to national data. Meant to serve as an action-oriented experience, the program will also include intentional times where educators will learn about various tools that they can tailor or apply to their interactions with students. If you work with or care about teens, we invite you to join this interactive afternoon workshop with nationally recognized educator Tim Mousseau.
