A PROACTIVE AND PROTECTIVE RESPONSE TO CONCERNING SEXUAL BEHAVIOURS: a 60-90 minute workshop

Educators, clinicians, health professionals and parents are all witnessing a rise in concerning sexual behaviour trends amongst children and young people.

The normalisation of hypersexualised media, sexting and pornography results in our children being more vulnerable to exploitation online and physical sexual abuse than ever before. Around the globe, governments, educators and health professionals are recognising pornography as a serious child safety and public health crisis. As an introduction to this complex issue, this session provides relevant, research based training for educators and anyone who works with children and youth. We will discuss how concerning sexual behaviours are manifesting in children’s lives, the consequences, and how adults may further develop their ability to respond proactively and protectively.

  1. Understand the impacts of pornography on child safety, mental health, sexual behaviours and child development.

  2. Respond proactively and protectively to physical and online environments.

  3. Gain knowledge and practical tools on how to identify children at risk and respond.

  4. Gain strategies to engage and equip children, youth and parents.

  5. Gain access to preventative and protective resources that minimise the opportunity for children and young people to be harmed.

To Whom it May Concern:
Liz Walker spoke at the recent Australasian Institute of Sexual Health Medicine 2015 conference in Sydney where she presented a talk on the effects of the porn culture on young people called ‘Implications of porn use for Teen Mental Wellbeing’.

Liz is an exceptionally passionate and articulate speaker who has thoroughly researched her topic and presents in an accessible and interesting manner. Her message is strong and uncompromising, backed by clinical experience and research. An expert in this controversial area I expect to see Liz on the world stage in the near future warning of the effects of the porn culture on future generations.
