Power, Shame, and Screens: Protecting Young People from Image-Based Abuse | NAPCAN
Young people are growing up in an increasingly complex digital world, one where image-based abuse is becoming disturbingly common. But behind the headlines are real lives, real harm, and real opportunities for change. This webinar is your chance to step into a conversation that goes beyond awareness and into action. Bringing together experts from across education, youth services, and law, we’ll unpack the growing threats facing young people online and offer tangible, trauma-informed strategies for prevention, response, and recovery. Together, we’ll explore how to build digital literacy, encourage consent-based online behaviour, and reduce the shame and stigma that prevent young people from speaking up. We’ll also highlight what compassionate, early intervention looks like, at home, in classrooms, and across communities. This session will add a powerful depth to a topic that urgently needs our attention and empathy. NAPCAN is pleased to be supported by the Department of Social Services to deliver National Child Protection Week 2025.
