As the lives of young people become more and more integrated with social media, the need to understand digital health and safety becomes increasingly essential. While social media offers connection and entertainment, it also exposes young people to potential risks, from cyberbullying and mental health concerns to sextortion and exploitation. Traffickers are just as active online as youth are, and without support from safe adults in their lives, youth can be led into dangerous situations. This presentation will walk through why the young people in our lives use social media, its impact on them, and how traffickers use social media to reach and manipulate them. We will discuss appropriate responses to online exploitation, and provide resources to promote digital safety and resilience in youth.

In order to ethically provide CEUs, we use a platform that generates attendance time reports. We must have a total time in attendance for each participant in order to issue CEUs and the CEUs issued are based on the total amount of time accumulated between the time an attendee joins and the time the attendee logs off. We are ethically bound to report the accumulated amount of time a participant attended, therefore we cannot issue CEUs to those:
· sharing a monitor, computer, and/or login
· failing to ensure their name label includes their first and last name
· joining by phone
· missing more than 10 minutes of a training that is 60 minutes in length
