REVIEW: iEmpathize Empower Youth Program

ByBilly Joe Cain

Summary

This course is NOT specifically focused upon human trafficking, like the majority of courses we review. This is an 80-ish minute course meant to help children find ways to navigate adolescence and enter adulthood by learning who they can trust (an oversimplification, duh).

It is a heartbreakingly important course that Billy Joe heartily recommends for all children and parents.

  • Cost: Free. 
  • Assessment-based Certificate: Yes.
  • Interactivity: Yes.
  • Duration: It took me 80 minutes to go through the program. The vast majority of this material was educational. You can see the whole thing in the video.
  • Course description: The iEmpathize Empower Youth Program is a five-module curriculum that can be used by anyone who provides services directly to youth, such as teachers, youth program directors, counselors, mentors, therapists, and more. It has two chief objectives: to equip youth with personal safety strategies, and to nurture their empathy for others. By inspiring students to develop empathy for those around them, our curriculum distinguishes itself both as an exploitation prevention tool as well as a character education program with far-reaching transformative potential for your school, classroom, or youth program.
  • Review: They aren’t kidding when they say “Far-reaching transformative potential.” I have been promoting this course to adults that have challenges with learning who they can trust.

“Very real, very honest, and very well done”

Adults should take this course immediately so they can understand what children are dealing with. 

Wow. This is a heartbreaking commentary on our society, YET it also shows hope by giving specific examples of how children can navigate the world around them. 

I literally gave this a standing ovation and it deserves it. 

Human trafficking plays a PART in the messaging but it is put in perspective within all the other societal issues that children encounter, from bullying, social media pressure, community violence, depression, and many other issues. 

I think a parent would have a tough time getting through this. 

I have some adults that I am going to make watch a few of these videos. 

Excellent use of INTERACTIVE education as well!!

Bravo!

These are the results of Radical Empathy’s 1st Annual Survey of Human Trafficking Awareness / Prevention Education Vendors. Organizations fighting human trafficking have helped us with this information, and their involvement have given us a look into the type of communities they serve and the tools they use to teach.

It is our hope that sharing this information improves the results of all anti-human trafficking organizations.

Gamification: Training Techniques that Work

ByBilly Joe Cain

Gamification has been my main learning opportunity and new professional skill since 2010. I went live with my first gamification effort in August 2011 at an educational company and I have worked as a gamification expert for many clients since then. It’s a lot of fun working with teams that are committed and enthusiastic! 

I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to apply those techniques to our online course.

My Password Technique – What’s Yours?

ByBilly Joe Cain

Is the beginning of the year a good time to change your passwords? Seems as good as any!

This advice is for everyone. Parents, you definitely want your children to know this, too, for obvious reasons.

Let me try to convince you that you want to have different passwords on different services: If you use the same one on everything, all someone needs to do is get your email and password and they can get into everything. It would be like having your front door key open your bank vault, car, and every other lock you own. That’s not good.

Is “Stranger Danger” Part of the Problem?

Parents, do these four things IMMEDIATELY for any child that can SPEAK. Step One: Arm Them With Language Teach your children the scientific name for their body parts. They need to know there ARE different parts of their body and they need to know how to identify *exactly* where someone touches…

Jeffrey Epstein: A Predator In Plain Sight

ByBilly Joe Cain

Victimizers can look like everyday people. That is something parents and children need to understand.

They hide in plain sight. They could be in your family or be one of your neighbors. It’s ugly, but true. That’s why your children need to be taught how to recognize the signs of trafficking. Not just for themselves, but for others.

You can armor children against this type of evil through prevention education.
