One of the more challenging aspects of working with youth can be identifying and knowing what interventions to use when sexual behaviors appear. Today the chances of coming across an adolescent that may be exhibiting these behaviors is likely and it would be helpful to learn how to use early detection skills and intervention strategies regarding these sexual behaviors. Creating Competency in Prevention for Youth looks like: ~Attending to self-management patterns that interfere with gaining competence with sexualized behaviors ~Distinguish between what is healthy sexual behavior vs. unhealthy or problematic sexual behavior ~Identifying and illustrate steps to take when sexualized behaviors are present in youth that aid in intervention, prior to legal actions taking place. ~Skills for how to discuss and work with potentially unhealthy or problematic behaviors with youth and young adults with problematic behaviors in youth
