This webinar will take place on November 19, 2025 from 1:00pm-4:00pm

Whether it is in the initial stages of discovery with problematic sexual behavior exhibited by children, or later stages involving clarification and/or reunification; promoting safety and healthy interactions is at the core of any strategy. This presentation will provide information and guidance on how to develop strategies for creating plans that address multiple facets of a child’s life utilizing a socio-ecological approach. It will outline a paradigm shift from holding individuals accountable to creating accountability within the child’s internal processes by balancing goals that focus on attaining healthy choices as much as or more than just avoiding bad choices. Additionally, the presentation will speak to how to approach clarification and reunification practices that are centered on the impacted child’s needs while promoting and rewarding accountability within the initiating child. A phased model for reunification will provide guidance for interactions as well as pre and post work to be done by professionals and family to assure safety for all involved.

This training will have 2.5 hours CEs through NBCC
