About This Webinar:

Approaching the topic of problematic sexual behavior in children and youth is often difficult and challenging. Exploring ways of prevention are vital in preparing families and professionals with ways to keep youth safe and thriving.

In this webinar, Dr. Elizabeth Letourneau informs participants of how problematic and/or illegal sexual behavior in childhood can be framed as a preventable public health problem. She describes the importance of understanding the developmental differences between older and younger children. Service providers, educators, and parents/caregivers learn the significance of perspective-taking and responding to younger children with empathy, how to distinguish healthy vs. unhealthy relationships, explore why problematic and/or illegal sexual behavior happens and strategies for prevention.

The webinar is part of the Sexual Behavior in Children & Youth (SBCY) Series hosted by MFLN Family Development. For more information on other trainings on this topic, visit the series homepage!
