Webinars
Here are some of the webinars we’ve been offering over
the past quarter.
Sustaining Programs
We offered a webinar on program sustainability for DHAP
(Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention) Capacity Building Assistance
Providers. These providers will be helping community-based
organizations in the HIV/AIDS field plan and develop concrete
strategies for sustainability over the long term.
Developing and Packaging Innovative
Programs
Often, innovative interventions developed in the field don’t
make the leap to real-world applications. This webinar reviews
the steps required to take promising interventions from field-
test versions to products that can be disseminated and used
by agencies and settings that could benefit from them. The
webinar was offered to grantees funded by the Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS) Family and Youth Services
Bureau (FYSB).
ETR has been a longstanding leader in developing, packaging,
disseminating and providing training on innovative and
evidence-based programs. Check our

the services and materials we can offer organizations interested
in disseminating their own innovative programs.
Workshops
Fostering Youth Resiliency Through
Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Programs
Children raised in adverse environments are more likely to
experience negative developmental outcomes, including teen
pregnancy. However, many young people thrive despite the
odds. What makes these young people resilient, and what can
youth-serving professionals do to help foster resiliency through
sexual and reproductive health programs? This workshop is
dedicated to answering these important questions.
Presentations
Positive Youth Development as an Approach
to Sexual and Reproductive Health
Promotion
Positive youth development is a paradigm that engages young
people as active participants in their own development. Unlike
more conventional problem-focused paradigms, in which
experts deliver interventions and youth receive them, the
youth development model actively engages young people
in defining and responding to the challenges in their lives.
This presentation explores ways these two paradigms can
coexist, and how positive youth development approaches can
be integrated with more traditional prevention programs to
improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes for youth.
ETR staff continue to make important
contributions to the fields of health
education research and delivery. We
appreciate the dedication, inspiration
and integrity of our researchers,
trainers and partners.
Tools for the Field
Our webinars, presentations
and workshops can be
tailored for delivery
in a
range of settings upon
request.
“
When we focus on building strengths, it not
only prevents the problems we want young
people to avoid, but also helps them thrive. I
love doing this kind of training because these
are issues people who work with young people
really care about. Yes, they want kids to be
healthy and safe, but they
really
want to see all
young people reach their full potential.”
