Understanding and Responding to Child Sexual Behaviour is a free two-day workshop for Teachers, Case Workers, Child Safety Workers, Therapists, Residential Workers, Youth Workers, Youth Justice Officers, Carers, and anyone else who works with children or young people who have harmful sexual behaviours. It is also helpful for those wanting to improve their understanding of the impact of sexual abuse on children.

Many may know the previous iteration of this program which was called “Murky Waters”. This new workshop takes the most relevant information from Murky Waters but refocuses away from theoretical models and towards practical management of and work with children who display problematic sexualised behaviours. While Murky Waters was originally intended to train specialist clinicians this training is targeted at a broader scope of attendee.

This training program focus on providing information about:

Types of Sexual behaviours

The prevalence in the community

The Impact of sexual abuse on children’s development

Placing behaviours in context

Strategies to intervene in the behaviour

Safety planning

Managing disclosures

And taking care of the treating team.
