Title: Scrolling, Streaming, and Sexual Decision-Making: How Media Impacts Youth and Adolescents
Presenter: Natalie Gallo, LPC
Description: This presentation will explore the recent trends in sexual media exposure to children and adolescence and the impact it has on their own sexual decision-making.

The audience will gain increased understanding of the online word youth are navigating, the influence this has on their sexual development, and resources for professionals, youth, and their caregivers.
