Preventing Grooming & Sexual Abuse Webinar

Attention Parents, Psychologists, Teachers, and Community Leaders! Join Us for a Live Online 2-hour Webinar 19 May!

At The Heart & Mind Collective, we are committed to safeguarding our children and young people from the dangers of grooming and exploitation.

Grooming is a deliberate and calculated process where perpetrators build trust and emotional connections with young individuals to manipulate and exploit them for sexual abuse. It is crucial for us all to be vigilant and proactive in protecting our youth.

To equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to tackle these challenges, we're inviting you to attend this online webinar on Wednesday, 19 May 7:00PM - 9:00PM. With professional guidance from Anna Clarke (Psychologist and Experienced DV/SA Support Service Member), this session focuses on preventative and proactive strategies.

What we’ll cover:

  • How to recognise and dismantle grooming behaviours to keep children safe

  • Insights into online safety and the growing risk of sextortion

  • Why Neurodivergent individuals, especially autistic people, are more vulnerable - and how to reduce their risk

  • Introduction to the Neurodiversity-Affirming Model - a powerful framework for building safer environments for Neurodivergent children and young people

  • Q&A in a safe space with an experienced professional

You’ll walk away feeling more knowledgable and confident in your ability to:

  • Spot the warning signs early on

  • Support those at risk more effectively

  • Create safe, inclusive spaces that foster connection and protection for Neurodivergent individuals

Secure your spot today and help keep our community safer!
