A March 30 youth-led webinar hosted by the Interpersonal Violence Research Laboratory highlighted successes, challenges and the future of Youth Voices in Prevention (Youth VIP).
During the event, youth leaders and adult mentors discussed how and why they became and remained involved in the program, and how Youth VIP has impacted their lives — and the lives of those closest to them.
In 2017, 7.4% of Nebraska high school students were physically hurt by someone they were dating during the past year, and 8.4% of Nebraska students reported being forced to have sex during their lifetime.
Preventing interpersonal relationship violence among teens is the focus of the Dating and Sexual Violence Prevention Workshop, April 28 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. via Zoom videoconference. The workshop is hosted by the Interpersonal Violence Research Laboratory.
How can researchers make their work accessible and digestible to practitioners and policymakers?
That was the focus of the NAECR Knowledge virtual event March 10. About 50 early childhood researchers attended via Zoom videoconference to discuss how social media can be used to share research effectively.
The Interpersonal Violence Research Laboratory will host a youth-led webinar March 30 from 1 to 2 p.m. that will provide an overview of Youth Voices in Prevention (Youth VIP).
The event is free and open to the public, but requires registration.
The virtual event will highlight how Youth VIP participants were engaged, educated and empowered to become leaders in their community to prevent sexual and related forms of violence.
