A request for a training presentation was requested for Maine's SAFE program and SA/DV coalition about PREA Standards, dynamics of sexual abuse in confinement, risk factors of abuse in confinement, processes and expectations of facilities, and any other topics a forensic nurse should know. The presentation was built using prior materials from JDI and PRC.

The PRC developed a three-part Introductory Topics Webinar Series on protections in the PREA Standards for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and gender nonconforming (LGBTI+) people in custody. The three (3) webinars in this series provide relevant introductory training for staff who are responsible for implementing PREA Standards that rely on effective and professional communication with LGBTI+ people who are confined.

Participants also had the opportunity to participate in polls where they could vote and provide their opinions on potential forthcoming changes to the OAS.
