Building Resilience and Resistance to Hypersexualized Media and Porn- A Workshop at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod

Presented by the Independence House in partnership with the Cultural Center of Cape Cod. In the absence of comprehensive, competent sex education, porn serves as the major form of sex ed for millions of kids. And what are kids learning? That degradation, humiliation, and violence are central to relationships, intimacy, and sex. This workshop will feature the resource Culture Reframed. We will share facts about the Porn Crisis and its effects on all genders, and resources for how to talk with youth and help build their resilience and resistance to the porn culture. This workshop is created for parents, grandparents, and anyone who works with and cares about, youth (teachers, coaches, educators, clergy…). This workshop is free but does require prior registration.

Happily serving as a Counselor and Advocate for victims and survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault at the Independence House in the Orleans office. The natural world is my home, mentor, and inspiration. Anti-oppression work, the creative and expressive arts, mindfulness, nature connection, and play are central in my life’s work in building a healthy community with people of all ages.

Bob Ravenelle is the Director of Domestic and Sexual Violence and Grants & Contract Management.
