sexual exploitation

This webinar series will address secondary trauma and traumatic stress in order to help law enforcement, prosecutors, and other investigative personnel identify, reduce, and address the traumatic impact of their work in combating child sexual exploitation. 

The webinar series will detail how and why stress and trauma manifest, what signs and symptoms we should be looking out for as well as how to mitigate the effects by using everyday tools, techniques, and coping strategies. This webinar will focus on behavioral factors that can compound the response to trauma.

Join the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for their upcoming “Secondary Trauma & Traumatic Stress: Behavioral Signs and Symptoms and How to Mitigate” webinar on July 16, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. ET.
