Second Story Learning Series – How to Keep Youth Safe Online

March 31, 2021

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn Share on Email

As part of our Second Story Learning Series, we’re inviting you to learn more about the different kinds of exploitation and abuse online. With COVID-19 leaving young people feeling disconnected and isolated from their peers, many are using more screen time to cope with the stress and loneliness.

This means they can be exposed to cyberbullying, hate speech, virtual sex abuse, or criminal radicalization. Building youth support systems and getting involved has never been more important.

Join us for 45 minutes on April 6 at 2:30PM EST, to learn how to keep youth safe from online harassment and abuse.

Presentation abstract:

Today’s youth are increasingly dependent on technology for everything from learning to socialization, especially as a result of lifestyle changes caused by COVID-19. In this presentation, we will learn about different kinds of online hate and harassment (such as cyberbullying, virtual sex abuse, and criminal radicalization), their impact on youth and families, as well as what you can do to help as a member of the community.

Presenter Bio:

Genevieve Dunn is Second Story’s Compliance & Risk Management Officer. She is responsible for developing effective compliance programs and managing organizational risk. Genevieve creates training programs to educate all levels of staff on issues relevant to our mission of serving youth and families.

Genevieve has worked for Second Story since 2017. Prior to her current role, she worked as Assistant Program Manager for Second Story for Teens in Crisis. She received a B.S. in Psychological Science from the University of Mary Washington in 2016, with concentrations in Child & Adolescent Developmental Psychology as well as Quantitative Psychology. She feels strongly about creating safe, effective, culturally competent services for diverse populations. In her spare time, Genevieve volunteers for Crisis Text Line and enjoys reading, learning foreign languages, and creative writing.

We hope you will join us next week! Please register to let us know you’re coming and get access to the Zoom link.
