WHAT:
Session 1: Digital Safety 101
Tuesday, September 16, 2-3:30p ET/1-2:30p CT
In this highly interactive training, we will use discussion questions, real-world case studies, and practice scenarios to provide participants with the latest information regarding digital violence and teach practical skills for supporting survivors and preventing harm. We will cover the following topics:
Knowledge Building
- The role technology plays in the lives of survivors and why certain vulnerable populations are most at risk.
- How to identify and respond to common forms of tech-facilitated violence such as unauthorized account access, location tracking, and harassment.
- How to navigate trauma in online spaces and support survivors of digital abuse
Skill Building
- Securing digital accounts and protecting our privacy
- Creating digital safety plans and providing trauma-informed support to
survivors of tech-enabled abuse.
Session 2: The Evolving Landscape of Image-Based Sexual Abuse
Wednesday, September 17, 2-3:30p ET/1-2:30p CT
Image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) is the new frontier of sexual violence and the way an increasing number of victims experience abuse. In this session, we will learn how to identify, prevent and respond to different forms of IBSA such as the nonconsensual distribution of intimate images, cyberflashing, sextortion, and AI-generated image abuse – along with practical tips for protecting victims and preventing harm.
Session 3: Emerging Issues in Digital Safety
Thursday, September 18, 2-3:30p ET/1-2:30p CT
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, it’s essential to stay informed about emerging online threats that can impact our safety, relationships, and well-being. In this session, we will demystify these emerging risks, including AI-Generated Images (Deepfakes, Undressing Apps, etc.), Facial Recognition Stalking, Modern Romance Scams, Chatbot Relationships, Catfishing 2.0 and more. Attendees will walk away with actionable steps to effectively counter these emerging threats and foster safer campus and community environments.
Session 4: Online Bystander Intervention
Wednesday, September 24, 2-3:30p ET/1-2:30p CT
Bystander intervention has been proven to be one the most effective strategies to prevent violence and encourage accountability in our communities. However, this approach doesn’t always translate well to online spaces, where we must adapt our strategies to navigate unique biases, power dynamics, and abusive behaviors. Here, we will focus on equipping participants with practical and effective bystander intervention strategies tailored for our digital lives.
