Tech Abuse for Survivors of Domestic abuse: Being safer online
This course looks at the main forms of digital abuse for those at risk of being contacted by violent ex-partners or stalkers and shows how to keep private online, lock down profiles and be aware of the many ways a person can be tracked and/or found.
The course is for professionals working with survivors who are at risk or the survivors themselves.
The training addresses the question: How can we use technology better in order to protect our safety and privacy?
This seminar gives you the tools and knowledge to work with groups to support them to reminisce. We give you access to our Trip Down Memory Lane resources and show you how to deliver a session. Digital Voice has a huge collection of short films made by local people about life ‘back in the day’. Here we give you the tools to stimulate memories of life gone by.
