Problematic Sexual Behaviors in Children
While it can be difficult for many adults to admit, children start to exhibit sexual behaviors from a young age. While social norms may require that we address or redirect these behaviors, they are often quite normal and/or typical. Alternatively, there can be problematic behaviors that may even cause harm to other children. When this occurs, the child who is exhibiting these behaviors may wrongly be labeled as a predator/perpetrator. Often, the assumption is that the initiating child must have been sexually abused themselves. This lecture aims to discuss how to know what is "normal" and what becomes more worrisome, how to address these issues with caregivers, and when and how to refer all involved children for the appropriate treatment.

The program begins with an overview of risk factors for development and challenges that can accompany a use disorder in youth, including mental health comorbidities. The speaker discusses disparities in access to care that adolescents with OUD can face, and reviews associated barriers to treatment as well as current policy that influences MOUD prescribing. The program ends with a series of case examples to contextualize effective screening and harm reduction techniques when applied to common clinical scenarios.
