The research findings from neuroscience and biology have helped us to understand some of the stark differences between boys and girls. This webinar will increase the awareness of SRAE educators in recognizing how boys, as natural risk-takers, hear and process the Sexual Risk Avoidance message. The social complexities of boys and their behavior will be discussed along with practical insights into crafting effective messages that can forge positive pathways for boys as they assess risk on their journey toward adulthood.
