January 2019
On Thursday, January 10, 2019, at 2:00 pm EST, the Midwest Regional Children's Advocacy Center will host a webinar on sexual health conversations with youth in care.
This webinar proposes that to effectively reduce current rates of unplanned or unwanted pregnancy, HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and non-consensual or exploitive sexual circumstances among dependent youth in care requires thinking beyond traditional approaches. This innovative, harm-reduction model focuses on preparing behavioral health and child welfare workers to have a sexual “health” conversation with youth. This presentation will introduce sexual health conversation tools such as suspending judgments, sexual health principles and sexual health terminology.
The webinar will feature speakers Al Killen-Harvey, LCSW and Doug Braun-Harvey, MFT.
Al Killen-Harvey is the co founder of The Harvey Institute, a training and consultation company whose mission is improving health care outcomes through integrating sexual health. For the past 24 years he has worked at the Chadwick Center where he has served in a variety of clinical and training positions.
Douglas Braun-Harvey, sexual health author, trainer and psychotherapist, bridges sexual and mental health and facilitates organizational change. In 2013 Doug Braun-Harvey and Al Killen-Harvey co-founded The Harvey Institute, an international education, training, consulting and supervision service for improving health care through integration of sexual health.
