Pornography:

The New Drug?

About the event

Early exposure to pornography has been cited as one of the causes of the alarming rise in youth sex crimes.¹ This symposium aims to bring leading experts in the field of sex and pornography addiction to raise awareness and educate attendees on the nature of the problem, the underlying causes, and potential solutions to this growing problem. This symposium also serves as a platform for mental-health organisations and social service agencies to network and share resources in dealing with this issue.

This symposium is organised in partnership with Lakeside Family Services.
