Confidentiality, Privilege, and Mandated Reporting: A Training for California Domestic Violence Advocates (2018)

This 90-minute training is designed to help advocates and service providers who receive state or federal domestic violence funds to understand whether they are mandated reporters who must report child abuse even if they know about it through confidential client communications. The training also explores what kind of information would have to be reported, and what would not, if someone is a mandated reporter.

Tune In & Watch Out: Recognizing & Reshaping Trauma in Media
Prevention Peer Network

Description:

Webinar was held on June 20, 2019

Description:

While trauma in media is not the leading cause of violence in society, it does contribute substantially by glorifying anger, jealousy, and victim mentality in relationships. Especially to youth, because only 1 in 4 adults talk with them about the messages they consume via song lyrics, movie scenarios, and reality TV. When youth have no knowledge about their rights and resilience, watching trauma can quickly lead to living drama.
