About the event

Youth sexualised behaviours can catch adults off guard, appearing in classrooms, online spaces, sports fields, and whānau homes. These moments can be complex and challenging, even for experienced practitioners. Adults must balance calm, curiosity, and compassion with managing risk, setting boundaries, and creating safety.

This practical webinar equips adults to respond safely and confidently when sexual behaviour in rangatahi is concerning. It explores how to understand behaviour in context, reflect on personal biases, and use therapeutic micro-skills to support rangatahi and their whānau.
