This interactive training series will follow one family’s journey and increase the participant’s understanding of what problematic sexual behaviors are, where they come from, and how to respond empathetically and in the best interest of all the children.
Please note, this training will take place over three sessions, the first of which will be held on July 14. When you complete the registration below, you will have the opportunity to indicate your attendance at all sessions.
Training Overview
The training utilizes an interactive module from the intervention Problematic Sexual Behavior – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Adolescents (PSB-CBT-A) where participants explore common reactions of caregivers. Participants also practice the best ways to engage with families and how to offer concrete solutions that address safety concerns within the home.
