Module 4: The nature of contemporary pornography - Overview

This module is one of the longer modules in the training with five submodules to complete. Module 4.0 provides a brief introduction to what is addressed in these submodules.

Each submodule will have a handout to download and a video lesson to watch as well as questions for reflection and a short quiz.

Module 4 includes some of the more confronting content in this training, so we encourage you to take breaks and use the opportunities for reflection. 

At times you may also find it valuable to remind yourself that there is good reason to learn about the nature of contemporary pornography: because in order to understand how porn is influencing and impacting young people, we first need to understand what they’re seeing.
