This four-hour workshop introduces professionals to the workbook’s treatment applications. Participants examine practical methods for incorporating workbook exercises into both clinical and probation environments, addressing barriers such as shame, minimization, and technology restrictions, and aligning workbook use with client-specific risk and responsivity factors.
Dr. Jackson and Dr. Ballinger developed this training to support professionals in adopting sex-positive, non-judgmental approaches to help clients in managing unhealthy patterns of sexual arousal patterns. Many individuals who have sexually abused have had limited sex education and few opportunities to understand the role of sexuality in their lives. Against this backdrop, it is more constructive for clients to view healthy sexuality as a goal to pursue and achieve, rather than regarding sexual arousal as something to avoid for the rest of their lives.
Few experiences fill a person with a greater sense of shame, stigma, and misunderstanding than sexual abuse. Men who have been harmed sexually can become marginalized and isolated, with limited resources available
to them or those who support them. This training explores the impact of this harm on men through an intersectional lens, exploring how their unique identities, circumstances, and society’s views can either support their recovery or compound their trauma.
Child abuse is preventable, and youth-serving organizations are essential allies in that prevention. Every year, these organizations engage tens of millions of children worldwide, creating opportunities to promote safety and wellbeing. In this webinar, Drs. Letourneau and Assini-Meytin, together with Mr. Ó Dochartaigh, discuss the practical applications of their work with Prevention Global and share a simple but vital message: prevention isn’t an option; it’s a necessity and a shared responsibility.
