The S*xual World of the 21st Century Adolescent: Consent, Respect and the P*rnography

You are invited to attend an adults-only Chevalier College Pastoral Care Symposium presented by Melinda Tankard Reist and Daniel Principe from Collective Shout:

The S*xual World of the 21st Century Adolescent.

This symposium is free to Chevalier College’s parents and carers. Bookings are essential. 

Tuesday 25 July
7.00pm-8.30pm
Sacre Coeur Performing Arts Centre 

The purpose of the evening is to empower parents and carers in the increasingly difficult role of guiding young people to healthy adulthood. By creating opportunity for conversation, we can be more informed and equipped to deal with the challenging situations that are facing the ever-changing landscape for our adolescents in the 21st Century, and our responses to them.

Research has shown "Parents are noticing their children seem to be growing up too fast, worried about their appearance and more aware of s*xual issues at earlier ages. Children and young people are bombarded with hypers*xualised messages from media and popular culture. Drawing from current global literature and the experiences of young people, Melinda and Daniel will explore how the proliferation of s*xualised images and messages contributes to a distorted view of bodies, relationships and s*xuality, hampering their healthy physical, emotional and social development.
