Webinar participants also acknowledge and address challenges inherent to remote interactions and highlight topics of interest for prevention workers during the COVID-19 crisis.
Key Discussion Questions:
What prevention activities can and should continue under the current circumstances?
How can you use social media to get your prevention messages out?
What are best practices for working in the virtual space?
What innovative steps are you taking to move your prevention work online?
