Helping Parents Navigate Raising Children in a "Pornified" Culture
We live in unprecedented times.
Never before has pornography been as graphic and as easy to access as it is now. Exposure to pornography severely impacts brain development and relationships – especially for our children. Raising kids in this 'pornified' digital culture can often leave parents feeling caught off guard, uncertain, and even paralyzed. Illuminate is a three-part series offered to all parents to help them understand the scope of the issue, how to help children who have been exposed to pornography heal, and to prevent pornography from ever taking root in the home.
