Webinar: Contextual and Developmentally Informed Responses to Sexual Behaviours in Adolescents: The Young People’s Sexual Behaviour Mapping Tool (YSB‑MT)

September 24, 2026 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM (CDT)

Description

Professionals working with young people often face uncertainty when responding to sexual behaviors in adolescents aged 13–18. This challenge is shaped by developmental differences, digital sexual cultures, peer dynamics, trauma, neurodiversity, and broader social influences. Too often, responses rely on adult-centered, risk-focused frameworks that overlook context and young people’s perspectives, leading to inconsistent, disproportionate, or even stigmatizing outcomes.

This session introduces the Young People’s Sexual Behaviour Mapping Tool (YSB-MT), a research-informed, participatory, and rights-based framework designed to support more balanced, reflective, and context-sensitive decision making. Suitable for professionals across social care, education, health, youth justice, safeguarding, and early-help services, the tool also supports supervision, case formulation, and multi-agency collaboration.

Grounded in socio-ecological theory, trauma-informed practice, and children’s rights approaches, the YSB-MT offers a clear three-stage process:

Describing behaviors and practitioner reflection
Mapping contextual influences across individual, interpersonal, community, and societal levels
Developing collaborative, proportionate action plans

Through practical examples, this session demonstrates how the YSB-MT can strengthen professional confidence, reduce bias, and support ethical, developmentally appropriate responses. Attendees will explore how to integrate digital behaviors, peer influence, and social context into their practice, ultimately improving outcomes for young people while promoting safeguarding, agency, and fairness.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Identify and contextualize adolescent sexual behaviors, distinguishing between typical, concerning, and harmful patterns using socio-ecological and trauma-informed perspectives
Apply the YSB-MT framework to support consistent, proportionate, and rights-based decision making in practice and multi-agency settings
Incorporate digital influences, peer dynamics, gender norms, and neurodiversity into assessments in ways that reduce stigma and strengthen safeguarding and young people’s voice
