Program Management Training in Williamsburg – presentations only somewhat interesting. I think I am burned out on these types of presentations. It always seems like the same old stuff. And do people, the attendees really change their programs to incorporate the new stuff they learn or is it just attending for the sake of attending?
Adverse childhood experiences relate to higher levels of depression for women, increased correlation with smoking and lung cancer, teen pregnancies, higher rates of sexual partners and therefore higher likelihood of STD’s and HIV. 4 or more adverse experiences spike the correlation of all above.
A presenter described a sexual assault as having a bad day. Amazing. Can someone really think trauma from violence is really just a bad day? That people/victims just go and say: “Oh well, bad day.” It shocked everyone in the room who heard her say it. She minimizes the very trauma she is serving in her job. But perhaps this is not her issue, just happened to get a job monitoring grants to serve sexual assault victims. I came to this field in a round-about way myself. So who knows?
