Preventing Grooming & Sexual Abuse Webinar

[As featured on The Neurodivergent Woman Podcast]

LIVE 2 HOUR WEBINAR with Q&A
Wed 19 Mar 2025
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM AEDT

We understand that tackling topics like grooming, online safety and sextortion can feel challenging. Whether you’re a parent, psychologist, teacher or community leader working with children, we all have a part to play in protecting the young people in our community. Knowledge is power. So we’ve designed this webinar to provide you with practical, actionable tools that won’t overwhelm you with trauma-heavy content.

What we’ll cover in this two-hour live session:

• 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

With professional guidance from Anna Clarke (Psychologist & Experienced DV/SA Support Service Member), this session focuses on prevention and proactive strategies. 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
