How To Engage Parents and Carers in Addressing Sexual Harm

The “How To” series focuses on exactly that …. How To.
These informative and practical 3 hour webinars aim to equip participants with both knowledge and skills to be able to implement strategies in their own casework, care, education or therapeutic setting.

This webinar focuses on one of the most important, but challenging aspects of intervention with children and young people who engage in harmful sexual behaviour – engaging parents and caregivers.

We know that parental (or caregiver) involvement in treatment is essential for both maintaining safety and promoting wellbeing, and so it is essential that we understand the impact on and responses of parents to the identification of sexual harm in their family, and that we approach engagement through a lens of understanding and support.

In this webinar we will explore common parental responses, identify dynamics that hinder engagement and explore strategies for promoting positive engagement.
