Join Firestorm® and key, national partners for an expanded 120-minute interactive exercise, designed for schools of all types, that will stress-test leadership team response in a simulated sexting-crisis. The panel of experts will guide participants through a series of escalation events, with participants applying their own crisis management and crisis response plans to each stage.
Studies show that young men repeatedly exposed to pornography are more likely to objectify women, and young women who view pornography are more likely to self-objectify and tolerate sexual harassment from men.
Sexting has serious consequences not only for the person taking and sending the photos, but also for the person on the receiving end. Schools must have a plan for when sexting occurs.
School leadership and teams must consider the emotional consequences of sexting and the legal ramifications as well.
In this test, we will simulate an event and encourage dialogue related to the emotional and legal consequences of sexting, such as:
- Embarrassment and humiliation
- Bullying
- End of friendships
- Guilt and shame
- Objectification
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Exposure to adult, sexual predators
- Criminal or other charges for child pornography
- Sex offender registry
- Parental exposure to legal consequences
- Children and Family Services involvement
The sessions will include a discussion of how insurance responds to a sexting-crisis and will conclude with a “hot wash” and benchmark analysis of actions taken. The sessions are specifically designed to empower participants to improve their crisis plans.
