Presented by: Galia Goya

Date: November 17th, 2023

Time: 9:30am - 11:30am CST

Location: Webinar Via Zoom

Cost: Free (This training is supported by Award No. 3012706 by the Texas Office of the Governor and Violence Against Women Act Fund.)

Modern-day technology and social media have made it possible to connect to people and information easily. However, this easy access to the information highway has created unintended consequences for our youth. This session will explore the effect that easy accessibility, particularly accessibility to porn, has on teens and how it relates to domestic violence and sexual assault on a systemic and cultural level. The answer is not to forbid youth from engaging in social media or banning popular platforms—but by fostering emotional awareness so that youth can identify emotions and set healthy boundaries (online and in real life).

Learning Objectives:

• Learn meaningful ways to talk about cyber safety with youths and the adults in their lives (i.e., parents, teachers, counselors, etc.)

• Explore how the digital world can be a tool to connect with youth.

• Walk away with tools for safeguarding social media, including algorithms to show appropriate and uplifting content.
