According to PACER, a national parenting center in Minnesota, 160,000 children in the United States miss school on any given day as a result of being bullied. This sobering statistic highlights the fact that bullying is an issue that every school is confronted with on an ongoing basis. With the cooperation of students, parents, teachers, administrators and staff, however, it is an issue that can be managed so that schools can be a safe place where all students have the opportunity to learn and create pleasant memories. In this course, the learner will gain understanding regarding the connection between bullying and student violence, identifying the different types of bullying, and finally, recognizing the impact bullying has on the victim.
In this one-hour course, we will explore the world of cyber-security; including its definition, methods of attack, and how to combat threats.

The increased availability of synthetic opioids coupled with the heroin epidemic has not only led to a significant increase in overdoses and deaths, but also an increased risk to first responders who must come into contact with these substances during the course of their duties. Exposure to small amounts, the size of a grain of sand, can lead to respiratory depression and even death. Proper identification and knowledge of the various opioids, signs and symptoms of exposure, and immediate life-saving measures to be employed in the event of exposure are critical to saving the life of yourself or others. Additionally, the likelihood of first responder exposure requires the implementation of universal precautions including but not limited to personal protective equipment (PPE), Narcan training, and specific procedures for testing of suspected substances.
Sexual harassment in the workplace can happen to anyone, male or female, regardless of sexual orientation. While sexual harassment may have been overlooked, ignored, or excused in the past, that is no longer the case. In fact, sexual harassment is on everyones mind these days. A majority, if not all companies, have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to sexual harassment. Improper behavior in the workplace may have significant consequences both for yourself and your employer. If you are a victim of sexual harassment, this may create a hostile work environment which takes a toll on your career, your personal life, and your health. Recognizing what sexual harassment is, both the subtle cues as well as the overt advances, will help you to identify potential warning signs and take the necessary steps to report sexual harassment. There are a number of preventive measures that can be employed as well as recommendations of what to do if you have been or are the victim of sexual harassment.
