rationalizations and the behavioral dynamics of those individuals who sexually
abuse children. The seminar will identify and then discuss the methodologies

molester, the preferential child molester and the technology facilitated child
sexual predator. Lastly, the seminar examines the topics of child erotica,
child pornography, trophies and their use by the child molester.
“Stop the Bleed” Basic Bleeding Control Course
A leading cause of preventable death from trauma is blood loss in the initial post-injury minutes, before trained medical responders arrive on the scene. “Stop the Bleed” is a national initiative that trains the public how to recognize and respond with life-saving emergency bleeding control techniques. Professionals with a first responder, law enforcement, or healthcare background are also eligible to become Stop the Bleed Instructors and bring this program to their schools and communities.
