What We Do

 
 

Tāima Kōrero - Time 2 Talk hosts presentations and workshops that equip parents and educators with the tools to effectively talk about pornography with young people.

We come to you - at your school, church, local hall, home or wherever we’re needed - and equip attendees with the education, tools, and resources to have meaningful conversations about pornography. We focus on the messaging and subtleties of porn and provide practical strategies to address these topics with young people. 

By having the right conversations in a timely way, we can reduce the devastating impact that pornography is having on our young people today, and support our tamariki and rangatahi to have healthy sexual relationships as adults. We aim to give each participant a sense of hope, community, and reassurance that they can make a positive difference.

Key topics that we cover

 

  • We discuss the statistics around pornography, the current digital landscape, how today’s porn differs from 30 years ago, and how new technologies are infiltrating the porn landscape. It’s essential for adults to be able to accurately define what porn is today.

  • This section covers the impacts of porn on young people’s attitudes towards sexuality, consent, sexual behaviour, and how we can reduce this impact.

  • Here, we discuss the importance of removing the taboo around pornography, and how we can do this with our children and young people by implementing difficult conversations. We look at how to achieve open communication on this topic.

    For many participants this is the most valuable part of our workshops.

  • We focus on providing practical steps to support young people, and tools for parents like conversation starters and device contracts. This section also covers device management, parenting in a digital world, and how to put safeguards in place at home and in the community.

  • We provide information on where to find further information and resources for families. For professional development training workshops this is also where we cover how to talk safely with young people, strategies around policies on speaking with tamariki, rangatahi and whānau, and external resources for community leaders.

    All participants receive a toolkit via email after the event, with links to resources and further info.

  • Everyone has questions on this topic! Towards the end of the presentation we have a space set aside for Q&A. Here, Brett will also answer any questions that were submitted anonymously via our QR code during or before the event.
