Sex, Tech, and Teens: A Conversation with Alex Rodrigues
This webinar is for parents, educators, mental health professionals, and others concerned with the well-being of teenagers in the digital age.
Internet technological advancement, while an invaluable societal resource, is not without hazards. Teens now face challenges that were unimaginable 10 years ago: unsolicited sexual messages, revenge porn, “incels” (individuals who consider themselves to be ‘involuntarily celibate’), sexploitation, online domestic violence, and doxing (the distribution of personal information against that person’s will). Online technology is unavoidable, but the risks associated with it can be minimized. That’s the message Dr. Rodrigues will bring to this informal webinar conversation.
A more in-depth response to these challenges and other related topics—including Dr. Rodrigues’s TEAMS approach—is available on demand. Click here to learn more about this training.
