Professionals and parents continue to use myths and misunderstandings as the base of decisions on problematic and illegal sexual behavior of children and adolescents.  Adults worry about addressing sexual topics and yet youth continue to be inundated with graphic sexual images and messages.  We need to better equip professionals and parents to understand and support healthy sexual development and to identify problematic sexual behavior early and intervene with all children and caregivers impacted.  

After attending the 2023 NSSBY you will leave being able to more effectively identify, monitor, prevent, educate, and intervene to address sexual behavior of youth...And be a Voice, not an Echo.
