Resources

Ngā Rauemi mo tātou! Some resources for us all!

 

Here’s some resources we’ve put together including a range of stuff for young people, whānau, schools, and youth services.

“They more we know about (porn) with accurate information, the better. We will make choices around sex anyway – so it’s better we are in a position where we can make educated choices. This way porn doesn’t become the only source of information about sex. ..because most of the time that’s the case.”
– Young person, TLP ITK survey

This is a new subject area, so we try to update the resources regularly. We don’t always agree with 100% of what every contributor says – so take a “keep what you love, leave what you don’t” approach.

Kia ora and welcome! The young people of Aotearoa are facing a new pornography (porn) landscape, and with high exposure and unlimited access, porn is influencing youth sexual culture in new and diverse ways. Young people tell us they have varied views and sometimes concerning experiences around porn and that they need, and want, better conversations, information, and support.

Youth and Porn Navigating the Issues has been developed to equip health professionals to better understand youth and porn issues and positively integrate this knowledge into their workplace practice. The kit includes 12 resources across three progressive skills.
