Interactive Training: Equipping Youth Leaders to Address Pornography

We're an organisation working to 'Open Eyes and Free Lives from the damaging impacts of pornography'. 

That means raising awareness of the harms of porn through education in schools, churches and communities, as well as running 'recovery programmes' for individuals impacted by porn use. You can find out more about us and our work at www.nakedtruthproject.com

The recent Barna report Beyond the Porn Phenomenon provided some key insights:

• Prevalence of Porn Use Among Young People: The report highlights that the accessibility of pornography has skyrocketed due to mobile devices and the internet, making it extremely easy for young people to access explicit content. Exposure at a young age can profoundly impact their emotional health, sexual development, and relationships​ 

• Lack of Support: A staggering 84% of people who use pornography say they have no one in their life helping them avoid it. This highlights a significant gap in accountability and support​ 
• Youth Leaders Recognizing the Issue: Youth pastors and leaders are witnessing the strength of porn’s hold on young people. 21% of youth leaders say pornography is a major issue in their church community.
• Where Young People Learn About Sex: Despite many youth leaders believing that parents should be the ones teaching children about sexual health, the majority of young people say they actually learn about sex from friends and social media—areas that often normalize pornography​ 
• Shame and Isolation: Many young people who struggle with pornography experience shame, leading them to isolate themselves rather than seek help. This can make it even harder for them to break free from compulsive sexual behaviors

This session is designed to give youth leaders the confidence to tackle this often-taboo subject, providing practical insights and resources to foster open conversations and lasting change.

Drawing from years of experience delivering workshops to thousands of teenagers, CEO & Founder Ian Henderson and Schools Associate Mandy Marshall-Taylor will guide you through essential tools and strategies to prepare, plan, and present impactful sessions for youth in your church or other Christian context.
