Emerging Data on Preventing Gender-Based Violence
2018-11-29 08:30 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | PA
Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and Southwest PA Says NO MORE present MAKING RESEARCH RELEVANT: RESEARCHERS AND PRACTITIONERS DIALOGUE ABOUT EMERGING DATA ON GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE.
The field of prevention is continuing to evolve. Practitioners are in the field every day, working to shift attitudes and behaviors to prevent the perpetration of abuse and to increase bystander intervention, but are often navigating by instinct and anecdotal feedback. In southwest PA, we are fortunate that Children’s Hospital of UPMC is conducting multiple research studies related to the prevention of sexual harassment, assault and relationship abuse. The CHP Adolescent Medicine research team will present preliminary, unpublished findings from ongoing studies and seek input from practitioners to make meaning of the data. This workshop is a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners to come together and dialogue about what is working, what is not, and how these findings can shape ongoing prevention efforts.
This session is designed for professionals engaged in efforts to break cycles of violence and prevent adolescent relationship abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence. Because the research findings to be presented are unpublished, all attendees will be required to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure statement. This will protect the ability of researchers to publish findings in the future, for the benefit of the field.
Learning objectives – Professionals will learn:

How widespread gender-based violence is, resources available to them and their patients, and how to help those experiencing such violence.
• To discern appropriate violence prevention strategies and incorporate such strategies
into their work with youth.
To incorporate conversations about violence prevention and safety with patients as part of standard of care.

The Bosses & Brunch Tour
2018-12-08 12:00 - 16:00 | PA
The Bosses & Brunch Tour is an exclusive networking event for female entrepreneurs of all levels and backgrounds. Originating in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2018, creator Andrea Williams and her Partners of The Secrets Of A She Boss wanted to create something to give back to their communities.
Secrets Of A She Boss is a book collaboration with 14 female entrepreneurs in all different businesses who decided to link arms to build as many female entrepreneurs as possible, we believe that the future is female. We teach women that you do not have to hate, judge or compete but link arms and change the world together!
Many female entrepreneurs don’t go after their dreams because they have no clue where to start, have no training, no support and can not afford the expensive price that a business coach cost. Bosses & Brunch is a International movement from it’s conception. The Bosses are connecting hundreds of women across the world and given them the tools, resources and confidence to start or expand their business. In 2019 we are traveling to 20 cities across the United States, Canada and Aruba to provide women an afternoon of learning, mingling and mimosas! Are you ready to level up and network with other professionals in your local area? Grab your ticket now!
All Attendees will receive a grab bag sponsored by our sponsors plus a workbook.
This all white holiday networking event is for all women, female entreprenurs or aspiring female entreprenurs who want to scale their business or life. Find more info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2152407698307702/
