ISHA SPRING CONFERENCE

THE VIEW FROM MARS:  WHERE DOES THIS SEXUALIZED CULTURE LEAVE TODAY’S YOUTH?

At our Fall Conference, we began a discussion about the casual nature of sexual relationships among adolescents.  During that conference the focus was primarily on young women, their choices, and the repercussions of those choices.  This spring, we hope to continue the conversation by considering the male perspective and how their behavior and decisions in relationships affect them now and in the future.

Michael Thompson, our morning keynote speaker, will share his thoughts on the world of the adolescent male and how he navigates through the sexualized social scene of today's youth.
