New CEU Webcasts from IAFN
February 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment
It looks like IAFN just made 12 sessions available from the ATL Annual Scientific Assembly as webcasts. The audio plus PowerPoint can be reviewed for CEUs, and if you attended the Assembly, it’s free. Not to worry–if you couldn’t make it, it’s still available to you for $19.99 if you’re an IAFN member ($29.99, non-members). [...]

The National Child Protection Training Center has a slate of webinars coming up that might be of interest.

February 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment

It’s definitely not the highest quality video, but the content is good stuff, and this is one of my favorite topics. [...]

White Ribbon Campaign Global Webinar
February 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment
The White Ribbon Campaign is a Canadian organization focusing on men stopping men’s violence against women. I am a big fan, no question.

The Pixel Project is hosting a webinar featuring one of their staffers as part of their Weekend Webinar series.

Emergency Contraception News
February 2, 2010 | 1 Comment
I’m hanging out in the Detroit airport hoping my late night flight home won’t get cancelled with all the snow falling out there. So I have just enough time to post some pretty interesting news from the EC front. Seems like there’s a new option on the horizon…

Nest Foundation has produced an incredibly powerful film on child sex trafficking in America. Playground is being used to raise awareness of child commercial sexual exploitation.
