3. Peer to Peer
Sexual Harm
Location:
on Zoom or in person
Date and Time:
TBD
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.
