Social Media Parent Session - Wed Oct 8 (6:30-8:30 pm) - GLH multi purpose room - Val Caldwell
Bridging the Gap will provide participants with an overview of some of the most common concerns facing youth today in terms of their usage of technology and Social Media. It will also explore sexual exploitation and (more specifically) how the usage of technology (smart phones, the internet) plays a role in this issue. The presentation informs parents, care providers, educators and anyone working with youth, about what young people - and offenders - are accessing (Instagram, snapchat, TikTok ,etc.), and will provide valuable information on how to protect kids from the hidden forms of child and youth sexual exploitation.
