Despite decades of progress in the evaluation and treatment of adults and adolescents who have sexually abused, “emerging adults” (roughly ages 18–25) often don’t fit neatly into either group. In this webinar, Dr. Waltrip and Dr. Leslie explore the developmental, legal, and clinical factors that make this population unique. Drawing on their extensive experience, they will discuss how to recognize the characteristics of emerging adults, differentiate their needs from those of adolescents and adults, and apply effective assessment tools and treatment approaches tailored to each client.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Stephen Rollnick, co-founder of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and co-author of its foundational texts. In this interview, Dr. Rollnick reflects on a career dedicated to understanding how compassionate, collaborative conversations can inspire meaningful change. Drawing from his work across healthcare, sports, and behavioral health—including groundbreaking research with individuals convicted of sexual offenses—he explores how professionals can foster self-awareness, safety, and openness in both individual and group settings. Attendees will gain fresh insight into how MI’s core principles continue to evolve and inform efforts in prevention, treatment, and personal growth.
