Short Term Sexual Responsibility

Many factors can cause young men today to struggle with their sexual feelings and decisions (including exposure to pornography, lack of adequate adult support and guidance, having been sexually, physically or emotionally abused or neglected, social isolation, loneliness, depression, etc.). Teenagers and their parents need information, guidance and support during this challenging period in their lives.

Many school sex education programs focus on the biological aspects of sexuality but do not teach an effective decision-making process that teens can use in the real world. Adolescents need to be aware of the significant personal, interpersonal and legal ramifications of decisions to engage in sexual activities.

What does the program provide?
Cornerstone’s Sexual Responsibility Program is designed for both teens and their parents and consists of weekly group sessions (parents and teens meet separately) over a six-week period and is intended to:
