Community members are invited to attend a Youth Violence Prevention Town Hall focused on issues impacting local youth, including sextortion, online safety and gang awareness.
This event is a partnership between the Ephrata School District, Ephrata Police Department, Grant County Sheriff’s Office and the North Central Educational Service District.
Presentations will provide parents, guardians and community members with current, local information about risks youth are facing both online and in the community. Presenters will highlight warning signs, emerging trends and practical strategies adults can use to help protect and support young people.
Topics will include sextortion, social media and online safety, indicators of gang involvement and how youth may attempt to bypass parental controls. The event will also address how online conflicts can escalate into real-world consequences.
The presentation is for adults only and may include sensitive content. Childcare will be provided. The event will also be livestreamed through the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.
