JOIN US VIRTUALLY FOR UN/FILTERED: SEXUALITY IN THE CONNECTED AGE

REGISTER NOW - #HealthyTeen20 - November 16-18
Back in 2019 (was that only last year?), knowing technology and sexuality have become so intertwined, we wanted to explore the theme of sexuality in this "connected age."

Today (thanks, COVID-19), our theme is more relevant than ever. Just about everything is virtual for most of us these days. And we know that is making a difference for the youth we serve.

No, we can’t gather in-person, but you’ll still get the chance to expand your skills and knowledge while also connecting with other professionals.

Much has changed, but much will be the same, including a pre-conference institute, inspiring keynotes, a thought-provoking plenary, and of course, workshops, posters, and panel sessions.

For some educators it’s hard to imagine intimate relationships that started, matured, culminated, and ended all through the use of digital media. For others, it’s impossible not to think of digital media as a critical ingredient for meeting and connecting with potential partners. Read more...

5 Reasons to Use Digital Focus Groups to Gain Insights about Your Community

By Genevieve Martínez García

Many of us are used to looking to focus groups as a way to learn more about our priority populations. In the midst of a global pandemic, though, it’s gotten harder to do these activities in person. The good news is that you can still elevate the voice of your participants through digital focus groups. Digital focus groups replicate the experience of traditional face-to-face groups, going online.  Read more...
