Keynote: The Ordinary Magic of Resilience to Buffer Child Trauma

This keynote address will discuss cultural influences that lead to early sexualization of girls in contemporary Western life. Some subtle but insidious messages given to children by well-meaning parents and grandparents and sometimes other adults will be discussed and form the basis of an experiential exercise. The role of shame in complicating sexual trauma in young children will also be addressed. Additionally, the factors that can be promoted and fostered by caregivers and clinicians to facilitate resilience in children will be emphasized especially. The importance of resilient mindsets for both caregivers and clinicians will be delineated. Finally, specific play therapy interventions with young children to facilitate resilience will be discussed.

  • Provide parents with healthy messages to give children regarding their sexuality and identity

Workshop: Reducing Trauma and Increasing Resiliency in Children with Sexual Behavior Problems
Children and youth with problematic sexual behaviors (PSB) are often misunderstood by the public and professionals, as evidenced by overly punitive responses based on approaches for adults with illegal sexual behavior. Appropriate response by all the systems charged with the intervention is critical to the safety and well-being of the child victims, the children with PSBs and others touched by the behavior and response. This presentation will focus on sexual development, explore the reasons why some children have PSB, and explore the impact of technology on problematic sexual behaviors. Additionally this presentation will provide participants with resources for best practices when treating problematic sexual behaviors, and ways to help caregivers engage with treatment and support activities designed to reduce trauma and increase resiliency. 

 

Learning Objectives

After the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate healthy from problematic childhood sexual development and behaviors.
  • Demonstrate how technology can influence child sexual development and behaviors.
  • Identify best practices for treating problematic sexual behaviors.
  • Apply strategies to reduce trauma and increase resiliency in a variety of settings touched by childhood problematic sexual behaviors.
