Online Training Description:

Understanding and addressing sexual risk among adolescents who have engaged in sexually abusive behavior is important for ensuring effective interventions and treatment planning. Phil Rich developed this training to provide professionals with advanced insights into contemporary sexual risk assessment methodologies.

During this training, participants explore:

• Primary risk assessment approaches
• The role of commonly used evaluation instruments
• Developmental and contextual factors influencing behavior

The training emphasizes a holistic approach to assessing sexually problematic behaviors by examining both risk factors and protective elements within the broader psychosocial context. This perspective equips professionals to conduct more comprehensive, sensitive evaluations that account for the complexity of youth behavioral health.

Grounded in empirical research and clinical best practices, this training bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application. Participants gain tools to develop nuanced, individualized assessment strategies that support effective decision-making in treatment and case management.

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

1) Analyze contemporary approaches to assessing sexual risk among juveniles
2) Evaluate the strengths and limitations inherent in the risk assessment process
3) Describe the role and value of structured risk assessment instruments in guiding case management and treatment planning
4) Demonstrate the practical application of risk assessment instruments in professional practice
5) Explain how the assessment process allows informed estimations of sexual risk
6) Integrate the 2017 ATSA adolescent guidelines into the evaluation of children and adolescents with sexually problematic behaviors
