Join us for a FREE two-hour online presentation about relationships, sex, and pornography, and find out how you can support your young person with disability.

Navigating relationships and sex can be challenging for young people with disability. They can misinterpret social cues and be more vulnerable to pressure and the impacts of pornography.

ACD and Amaze are hosting a FREE presentation, Let’s Talk: relationships, sex, and pornography. It aims to help families of children aged 12+ understand and support their children to navigate respectful, consenting relationships.

This presentation looks at:

Autism, young people, and technology
Autism, young people, puberty, and sexuality
Pornography and young people

* The content of this webinar was developed through the Porn Is Not The Norm project, supported by Interchange Outer East.
