Responding Wisely in the Presence of Sexual/Sociosexual Behaviors

Nicholas addresses how to approach sexual or sociosexual behaviours in individuals under care, especially when language skills may be limited. He provides clear, practical guidance for caregivers, parents, and staff on how to handle sexual behaviours, requests for relationships, expressions of sexual orientation, or non-consensual actions.

You will walk away from this one with ideas and resources, and with a solid understanding of initial first steps when specific sexual or sociosexual behaviours and/or needs arise.
