The digital age made pornography accessible, affordable, and anonymous. There is mounting evidence that viewing pornography negatively impacts healthy sexual development. We are seeing unprecedented individual, relational, and social damage at every age and stage. Thanks to these entities and others, we have education and resources to be empowered and take action.

Led by Kristen A. Jenson, author of the best-selling Good Pictures Bad Pictures series of children’s books, Protect Young Minds™ seeks to help parents porn-proof their kids before they come across highly addictive and easily accessible internet pornography.

Until society makes the internet safe for kids, parents must be proactive in teaching what pornography is, why it’s dangerous and exactly how to reject it. The good news is that it CAN BE DONE!

Whether you’re looking to prepare kids with a plan to prevent addiction, help and heal kids who have already been hurt, or share and speak up to educate your community, Protect Young Minds has the resources to help.

Culture Reframed takes a public health approach to prevent, build resilience to, and ultimately eradicate the harms of pornography.

Culture Reframed responds to the pornography crisis by providing education and support to promote healthy child and youth development, relationships, and sexuality.

Their research-driven programs will teach parents and helping professionals how to recognize and respond to the role pornography can play in sexual violence, unhealthy relationships, internet addiction, negative self-image, sexual dysfunction, depression, sexually transmitted infections, injuries, and other health problems.
