This page will develop over time.  The hope is that it will become a place where parents can gather helpful information.  Eventually the page will include resources in several mediums.

* We recommend you do not read these resources in a vacuum.  These are tools, and while some of them offer extremely practical methods, they are best processed in and practiced outside of your family system first.  Please feel free to contact the youth ministry department if you would like to process any of the material from this list.  We would also be open to helping to create a time and space for a group of parents to process.

The above is a link to a group that ministers with regard to the pornography industry.  We list it here because they offer a free accountability program for teens struggling with pornography.  We STRONGLY suggest that you DO NOT use this software without first informing your student and without having a plan to deal with an possible eventualities.

This software is a near MUST for teen males.

Again, DO NOT install the software without first informing your student!
