Teen Economic Abuse: How School-Based Health Center Providers Can Support Students
Please join the School-Based Health Alliance for a 60-minute webinar focused on how school-based health center (SBHC) providers can support students who have experienced teen economic abuse. Our colleagues from Futures Without Violence will share findings from a national survey of adolescents on the prevalence and impacts of teen economic abuse, including educational interference. They will describe the dynamics of teen economic abuse, and they will offer strategies SBHC providers can use to support their patients.
