Capire e sostenere l’affettività e la sessualità degli adolescenti

Webinar with Adele Fabrizi, Chiara Simonelli, and Marco Silvaggi. Sexuality and affectivity play an important role in defining and building the identity and personality of adolescent girls and boys. To have a positive sexual experience, it is important to be able to recognize and name new sensations and emotions, as well as build a positive relationship with one's changing body. Several studies show that adolescents benefit not only from reliable and scientifically valid information, but also from opportunities to share ideas and give words and meaning to everything their bodies feel and experience so intensely during this phase of their lives. How can we promote and encourage open and non-judgmental communication with boys and girls about sexuality at school? What is the role of parents in supporting adolescents' expression of sexual and affective identity? Is sexuality a right for everyone? While we wait for the "Adolescent Intimacy" conference, we'll answer these and many other questions with: Adele Fabrizi, Psychologist and Psychotherapist, has been working in sexology for about 30 years as a teacher and supervisor of the Training School in Clinical Sexology at the ISC (Institute of Clinical Sexology).
