Value of Education
A critical shift is needed. In addition to social shame, rejection, and isolation, PSB brings a stigma that creates enormous barriers to permanency. Proper support and training is critical to reduce these negative impacts and foster positive outcomes.
Economic Impact

- Instability compounds youth trauma.
- Soaring inpatient, residential, and psychiatric costs.
Filling a Critical Knowledge Gap
Problematic sexual behavior (PSB) in children can create significant stress among care-taking adults1,2. Foster and adoptive parents, along with their support networks, often lack the necessary skills to manage these behaviors, with a very limited percentage receiving adequate training to do so.
