Just Say No to Scams (in-person train-the-trainer on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, in Greater West Palm Beach, Florida)

As part of Consumer Action's decades-long work educating consumers to better recognize and avoid fraud, we are offering, in Greater West Palm Beach, Florida, our "Just Say No to Scams" training. This free event will provide community educators, counselors, and other community-based direct service providers an opportunity to gather knowledge and resources to help protect their communities against ever-evolving scams and fraud.

The training will offer:
• A live introduction to the latest edition of Consumer Action's "Just Say No to Scams" educational module, a free resource that includes a multilingual consumer guide and tip sheet along with tools for conducting community education;
• A special guest presentation by Dr. Jennifer Lawrence, DSW, LICSW of FightCybercrime.org, focused on how community advocates can speak with consumers affected by severe cybercrime—such as romance or crypto fraud—while better understanding the shame, isolation and stigma experienced by fraud victims, and how to recognize, respond to and direct consumers who are currently being scammed or recovering from a scam;
• Resources for staying informed about emerging scams; and
• Details on how nonprofit attendees will be able to apply for a small community education stipend.

If you are a community educator or advocate, you will not want to miss this in-person training, which will also offer an excellent networking opportunity.
