Teen Dating Abuse in the Digital Age

One in four dating teens is abused or harassed online or through texts by their partners, according to a new study by the Urban Institute. New technologies—social networking sites, texts, cell phones, and e-mails—have given abusers another way to control, degrade, and frighten their partners. These tools haven’t pushed overall abuse rates up, but have allowed abusers to harass their victims anywhere and at any time, even when they’re apart.  Go here to find “Teen Dating Abuse in the Digital Age”

Meeting the Emotional Needs of Children - One Dog at a Time

The National CASA Association has done a podcast about Courthouse Dogs and our very own Emma!

Since 2003 specially trained facility dogs have been assisting children and other individuals with physical, psychological or emotional trauma in the court system.  In this podcast, Ellen O'Neill-Stephens and Celeste Walsen from the Courthouse Dogs Foundation talk about how this program got started and provide their legal and clinical expertise on how dogs are changing the way emotional needs are being met in the courts, especially with child victims.

Go here to hear the podcast.

TED Talk - Dynamics in Abusive Relationships

Can abuse feel good? Kristin Carmichael at TEDxABQWomen

This short (10 minute) talk is a tool that can be used in may ways to educate, staff, volunteers, clients or community members about a particularly dangerous dynamic in abusive relationship. It delves into how abusive people use enticing behaviors (gifts, promises, apologies) to re-engage and trap their partners in destructive relationships.

TED Talks are offered to experts who have an "idea worth sharing." This particular talk was given in ABQ last December to a live audience of 300 people and was streamed online to over 70,000.
