  “The Mainstreaming of Consensual Non-Consent (CNC): What You Need to Know about Prevalence, Consent, Communication, and Safety”

  In this workshop, Dr. Debby Herbenick – a Provost Professor at the Indiana University School of Public Health – will share her research on how a variety of sexual practices have recently increased in prevalence and become mainstream. She will share novel data from her recent interview and survey studies on consensual non-consent (CNC), including how common it has become, how young people are learning about CNC, what they are doing as part of CNC, and aspects of communication, consent, and safety that are relevant to clinicians, educators, and other professionals working with youth.

  Her bio is available on debbyherbenick.com
