Description:
Community-based organizations are often called upon to deliver curricula on multiple topics, including sensitive public health issues. While leadership and staff may see the need for such curricula, they may not have the expertise and skills to adequately address the topic and provide on-going support to community members. This workshop will describe the efforts of Project Respect to build staff capacity to decrease teen dating and sexual violence.
