Primary prevention in the context of a traumatized community
Tuesday, July 9, 2013
11 AM to 12:30 PM Pacific Time
(2 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern)
There is growing awareness of trauma and its impact on individuals and communities. Currently, most initiatives working to address trauma focus on approaches that treat an individual. Join us for a web conference exploring a new topic in the field: tailoring prevention work for communities that have been impacted by trauma. Be prepared to share your thoughts as we discuss how we currently understand and analyze community trauma, its transmission, and approaches to preventing sexual and domestic violence in communities impacted by trauma. Register directly to the right.

What is a Web Conference?
A web conference is an opportunity to attend an online presentation by watching a slides on your computer screen (using your internet connection) and hearing the presenters through your telephone. Our web conferences feature an opportunity to participate in an online question & answer sessions and live text chat between participants. If for some reason you are unable to join on your computer, you can download the presentation slides and listen to the presentation on your telephone.

The web-conference was amazing.
I tried to listen to the recording but the sound kept cutting in and out until it finally stopped all together.
When viewing the recordings, it often helps to allow the recording to fully download to your computer before viewing it. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, that could take 5 to 10 minutes.
