This training will provide participants with safety strategies and conversation starters to review with youth. Additionally this training will highlight how technology can place foster care and juvenile justice involved youth at high risk for commercial sexual exploitation.
Learning Objectives
· Identify at least 2 potential dangers of youth using the Internet and social media.
