We often receive calls from schools requesting resources to help their students struggling with pornography, sexting, and digital safety. The average age of first exposure to pornography today is 8-years-old. And this is a reality for families in our parishes – 79% of men and 76% of women aged 18-30 self-report that they view pornography at least once a month.
There is help available, and we’ve compiled a list below of the best organizations we have found to help schools, parents, and parishioners navigate these tough topics.
For Parents and Teachers:
Start by reading this article by Matt Fradd on how to talk to young people about viewing porn – Parenting the Porn Generation
The Porn Effect | LifeTeen | Chastity Project | The Young Catholic Gentleman all have great articles for young people on pornography and healing.
Create in Me a Clean Heart is the USCCB’s statement on pornography for the Year of Mercy . It’s a beautiful document and well worth the read.
