10am Break-out Sessions
| Choose One Break-out Session to Attend | |
| Mary Anne Layden, PhD [read more] | The Sexual Exploitation Industry: A Seamless and Toxic Continuum OVERVIEW: This presentation will explain how pornography commercializes and pathologizes sexuality while promoting beliefs that are unrelentingly false and toxic. The sexual exploitation industry teaches these beliefs in a potent way, and as with any form of education, the impact can be massive and far reaching. The consequences of this education are on a seamless continuum from prostitute Halloween costumes for children to the criminal act of rape. While sex was intended to be a sacred and central act in human cultures, we are currently paying the price for the way the sexual exploitation industry degrades its healthy purposes. |
| Dan Gray, LCSW Todd Olson, LCSW Dorothy Maryon, LPC [read more] | When Trust is Betrayed: How to Create Safety in a Relationship when Trust has been Lost OVERVIEW: The spouse whose trust has been shattered by a partner's pornography use experiences pain and feelings of betrayal. This session will address how the offending spouse can create safety again in the relationship. It will also address how others, such as friends and clergy can assist in this process. |
| Ken Knapton [read more] | Teens and Technology: Parenting in a Digital World OVERVIEW: We live in a digital world, and many children are more comfortable using technology than their parents are. With so many new outlets to tempt today’s children and teens, parents need to understand the dangers and what to do about them. This session will help you to learn how children are using technology, and what dangers exist because of the technologies that have become part of our children’s lives. We will discuss such issues as cyber bullying, Internet predators and social networking. We will provide some pragmatic steps to help protect your family in this digital world. |
