SUMMARY:Book Club: What is a Girl Worth? by Rachael Denhollander
DESCRIPTION:Join us and discuss the book “What is a Girl Worth?” by Rachael Denhollander in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month. \nRachael Denhollander’s voice was heard around the world when she spoke out to end the most shocking USA gymnastics scandal in history. The first victim to publicly accuse Larry Nassar\, the former USA Gymnastics team doctor who sexually abused hundreds of young athletes\, Rachael now reveals her full story for the first time. How did Nassar get away with it for so long? How did Rachael and the other survivors finally stop him and bring him to justice? And how can we protect the vulnerable in our own families\, churches\, and communities? \nLight refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Off to a Good START: Virtual Training
DESCRIPTION:There is no better time than now to get “Off to A Good START” – teaching healthy body boundaries for your child’s well-being!\nOne of the greatest essentials of parenting is to protect our children from harm. NOVA is offering “Off to A Good START”\, a 75-minute\, free\, online training designed to help parents acquire skill sets and knowledge that support the development of healthy and safe body boundaries\, critical thinking skills\, and healthy decision making. \nThe “START” of the title is an acronym for: \n\nSay the personal safety rules early\, often\, and clearly\nTeach correct body part names\nAsk First before any touching\, regardless of the relationship\nReinforce “not safe” touches/requests are never the child’s fault\nTalk to your child about trusted adults they can go to for help and affirm your support\n\nWe invite parents of young children in Bucks County\, as well as professional and paraprofessionals who work with and are concerned about the safety of children to join us! There is no better time than now to get “Off to A Good START”. \nAs part of a broader approach\, we want to encourage and enhance family skill-building strategies. Even when parents have addressed the topic of personal safety with their child\, they may have questioned “was it enough?” If parents have not communicated the personal safety message\, or it is on their “to do” list\, now is the time to begin. \n			\n				Register\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				For more information\, please contact: Mary Worthington at Mary@novabucks.org

SUMMARY:NOVA’s Training Institute Presents: Sextortion Awareness and Prevention
DESCRIPTION:A Virtual Panel Discussion with Q&A Session\nIn today’s digital age\, sexual exploitation is becoming more common\, as people use social media platforms to coerce others into sending images of themselves engaging in sexual acts. In Pennsylvania\, anyone who threatens to harm or withhold a reward\, service or anything of value in order to coerce sexual acts\, images or videos from a victim\, commits the crime of sexual extortion. \nBecause approximately 71% of sextortion victims are under the age of 18\, we invite parents\, community members\, educators\, and other professionals to help raise awareness about sextortion. Hear from experts in the field of law enforcement\, criminal justice\, advocacy and prevention to make our communities safe from sextortion. \nFeatured Panelists:\n\nDonna Greco\, Policy Director\, Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape\nBrianna Dion\, Victim Advocate\, NOVA\nDetective Ryan Kolb\, Police Department\, Bensalem\nKristin McElroy\, Deputy District Attorney\, Bucks County\nHayes Honer\, Prevention Educator\, NOVA\n\nModerated by: Jamie Pfister\, Training Institute Coordinator\, NOVA \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Additional Information\nLive Via Zoom \nFor more information\, please contact: Jamie Pfister at Jamie.Pfister@novabucks.org \n			\n				Donate to NOVA\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Your donations support NOVA’s mission and free trainings like this one.
