Peer to Peer
Sexual Harm
Location:
on Zoom
Date and Time:
Wednesday, March 11, 2026
9am-12pm
Over 70% of child sexual abuse is committed by peers, with schools being the most common setting for these incidents. Despite fears, most youth who engage in harmful sexual behavior do not reoffend or grow up to abuse others.
This workshop is designed for anyone who works with or cares for children and youth—educators, parents, social workers, and more. It covers the prevalence and causes of peer-to-peer sexual harm, how to use appropriate language, how to recognize healthy versus concerning sexual behavior, and factors like age of onset, risk factors, and high-risk locations. It also explores why children often don’t disclose abuse, the barriers to seeking help, and provides practical tools and resources.

Puberty: Coming to a Body Near You (Lesson #1)
We all have a body. It's ok to learn about it, talk about it, and ask questions about it. In this workshop we will discuss private body part names, as well as when and where these scientific names should be used. We will also explore the physical, emotional, and social changes of puberty. Be prepared to laugh.
With fun, meaningful and hands-on activities, our children can learn to be open and confident with these sensitive topics. This workshop will be entertaining, engaging and informative.
