Strategies to Teach Boundaries and Consent to System-Involved Youth

Nicole Kelly, PsyD & Nancy Acosta, PsyD

Training Description

Learning to set boundaries and about consent starts early in life. So, it's essential for parents, caregivers, and others who support system-involved youth to understand different types of boundaries and what consent is. This training will discuss strategies for teaching and reinforcing boundaries with youth of all ages, including toddlers. Learning about how boundaries help prevent sexual abuse and supports individuals who have been abused in their healing journeys.

Learning Objectives

· Participants will be able to explain consent to a system-involved youth.

· Participants will be able to explain the difference between consent and coercion.
