School-Based Health Services and Adolescent Health for DV/SA

October 10th is Health Cares About Domestic Violence Day, and Futures Without Violence will be hosting a webinar as part of the day’s events. School-based Health Services, Adolescent Health and Anticipatory Guidance for Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault will be held from 9-10:30 am PT. Cumbersome title aside, it should be a good session that’s very clinically focused. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that CE/CEUs are available.

From the site:

Description: For one in five U.S. teen girls, the most vivid memories of high school will not be her junior prom or a favorite history teacher. Instead, 20% of teen girls will remember the abuse inflicted by someone they were dating.

Teens experiencing relationship abuse are more likely to report unhealthy diet behaviors, engage in substance abuse, and report having suicidal thoughts. Given these sobering facts, adolescent relationship abuse (ARA) is a major health concern facing teens today, and health care providers have a unique role to play in preventing it. Not only can they provide valuable prevention messages to help their patients build healthy relationships, but medical professionals are also uniquely positioned to help those exposed to abuse access the resources they need.

Clinical settings that serve adolescents in particular, such as confidential teen clinics and school health centers, are strategic sites for adolescent health promotion, prevention, and intervention. Unfortunately, the standard-of-care within adolescent health settings does not currently include specified protocols to assess for or intervene to reduce ARA. This webinar will provide participants with strategies and tools to provide universal education on safe, consensual and healthy relationships, as well as models for trauma-informed responses to disclosures of ARA.

Thus, to play safe and make a wise financial decision, it is important for them to
know more and more about the facts related to dinar investment
in Iraq. Before United States invasion of Iraq and toppling of Saddams government Iraqi Dinar was trading at USD 3 to one Iraqi Dinar on
the strength of the countrys massive oil industry. One of the most important factors about the Iraqi economy is that the inflation rate
is decreasing and its one of the encouraging factor for Iraqi economy.
