– We are serving 13 to 24 year-olds in dating abuse
relationships

expects to us as a service provider to meet them
where they are - channels we are sometimes not
ready or able to tackle

our core values

12. People are more likely to share
information from their strong ties, but
because of their abundance, weak ties
are primarily responsible for the majority
of information spread on Facebook. The
figure above illustrates how a majority of
influence (orange) can be generated by
weak ties, even if strong ties are
individually more influential.

19. Are Apps
helping you?
When the helpline pushes an
external resource, it pushes a
website. There’s no point (for most
service providers) to link to an app.

22. “..the future of business isn’t tied to the
permeation of Facebook, Twitter,
smartphones, tablets or real-time geo-location
check-ins. The future of business comes down
to relevance and the ability to understand how
technology affects decision making and
behavior to the point where the recognition of
new opportunities and the ability to
strategically adapt to them becomes a
competitive advantage.”
Brian Solis
23. What We’ve Learned...
– Have a plan for comments and disclosure
– Content curation is a valuable tool
– Maximize the share-ability
(keep it clever and short)
– Searchable archives to support curation
– Peer Engagements - people like us are too old
– Cross disciplinary staffing is critical to success of content
