Join us for The Sexual World of the 21st Century Adolescent as we address the concerning repercussions of p*rnographic content on youth, including altered norms and behaviours from an early age. Drawing on global studies and narratives, we will outline the detrimental influence of exposure to explicit content on young minds and interpersonal connections.

This webinar is suitable for parents and guardians of children 5 to 12 years of age.

Our Talk To Me First – Exposure to Explicit Content webinar will explore how exposure to inappropriate content is affecting young children and the ways we can limit its negative impact on their wellbeing. Discover why starting the conversation with children will encourage them to come to us, without fear of judgement or punishment, if they see inappropriate material online.

Get Game Aware as we arm families with the tools and knowledge to achieve a healthy relationship with gaming at home. You’ll discover it’s all about finding balance – If gaming, was all positive, we wouldn’t have parents and healthcare professional’s concerns. If gaming was all negative, we wouldn’t see the joy and sense of community and belonging that it can bring.

Speaker: Andrew Kinch

With 30 years gaming experience and 15 years of wellbeing and teaching experience, his skillset is primed to tackle this issue by using Intelligent Gaming Strategies to help gamers enjoy their games without it being the number one priority in their lives.

Living, learning, connecting and playing online is now part of the social fabric of our community, especially kids. Join us for Building Digital Resilience and learn how to support your child to master digital resilience by learning key competencies, nurturing gratitude amidst online noise, and developing empathy for positive interactions. Discover how to create impactful digital footprints and to use platforms to forge communities that strengthen both personal and collective resilience.

When is the right time for your child to have a device? Our My First Mobile Device webinar will help parents and guardians determine the right time for the young people in their home to take on the responsibility of managing their first mobile phone, tablet/iPad/laptop or gaming console. We will explore how to manage settings to keep them safe online and how to establish boundaries early for a healthy relationship with technology.
