EDUCATING FOR TRICKY CONVERSATIONS |

Hi Friend,
Are you ready to start strong?
One of the lessons learned from COVID is that now, more than ever, kids need support to stay safe online. With less time out and about and increased time spent using technology, online exploitation has skyrocketed, as has young people's use of p0rn.
To help you overcome those awkward feelings about approaching this topic in schools, this month I partnered with Media Savvy Moms in Canada to bring you a podcast jam-packed with helpful advice. Key points we cover on the How to discuss p0rnography in the classroom podcast include: - Prioritising the prevention of sexual harms
- Being aware of the misguided approach
- The BIG PICTURE approach
- And P0rn & Online Safeguarding Education (POSE)
This free podcast is available here with all the relevant links and resources, or you can also find Media Savvy Moms on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. They ALWAYS provide great advice for parents on the topics of tech and p0rn, and are one of our "go to" places we will recommend to families this year.
Keep reading for more free resources ~ information about Safer Internet Day resources (Tuesday 9 February), a skill building workshop for community workers in Brisbane by Dr Michael Flood (Tuesday 16 February), and details about POSE. |

Youth Wellbeing Project will be back in your inbox soon, and are excited for 2021 as we continue to support schools and community organisations with strategies and resources to build online literacy and counter hypersexualised harms.
Till next time, be well and stay inspired.
