Each week we share insights into what we’re seeing, identify trouble spots, and equip you with skills and support to protect yourself and your reputation.
In 30 minutes online, we break down what you need to know. Stay on for the second half hour and get individualized coaching for your technical, psychosocial, and professional needs:
- What’s Happening Now?: The news of the day and what we’re seeing online globally. Chatham House Rules. We share our stories. We co-create solutions. And we shine a light.
- Digital Hygiene Lesson: A digital cleanup. We walk you through the steps to get your online protections in place. Building your skills to protect sources, yourself and your work.
- Individualized Office Hours (Consultation and referral for additional services with technologists, peer counseling, law advocate, management advocate, cyberforensics, etc).
Each week, we vet all attendees on the webinar to ensure you have a safe environment for sharing your stories AND you get the hands-on attention you need. So, join us for this intimate conversation with folks who have been there, and solved for that.
