From persuasive algorithms to parental oversharing, the digital world is shaping how children see themselves—and how others see them. Join us for a thought-provoking presentation that revisits The Social Dilemma five years later, explores the ethics of digital design, and equips adults with tools to better protect vulnerable youth. Together, we’ll explore how technology impacts behavior, relationships, and well-being—and what we can do to create safer digital spaces for all. Bio: Recently relocated back home to Omaha, Joe Toscano is an award-winning designer, published author, and international keynote speaker who left his role consulting for Google because he felt the industry was misusing data and that the issues needed to be addressed through innovation rather than strict regulation. Since leaving, Joe has written a book, called Automating Humanity, and has helped draft, support, and enact laws to make the internet safer. You may recognize Joe as a featured expert from The Social Dilemma on Netflix; as the speaker in his TEDx Talk, “Want to work for Google? You already do,” or from myriad appearances on national news broadcasts within the US and abroad. Location: Project Harmony 11949 Q St Omaha, NE 68137 Time: 6pm-7:30pm Read more

This course educates community members about the basic definitions and responses to all types of child abuse and neglect, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, exploitation, and trafficking. This training also describes the services of a Child Advocacy Center, like Project Harmony, and contains mock calls to the Nebraska Abuse and Neglect Hotline. Lastly, the training will cover elements of receiving a disclosure, calling the hotline, and common reactions. By outlining the process and observing realistic examples, learners will be more equipped to respond to a child in need. While most of the content is foundational to all discussions of abuse and neglect, references to statute are specific to Nebraska. Participants from outside of Nebraska are encouraged to investigate child abuse and neglect policies and procedures in their own state. Read more
