The Importance of Screening and Early Action
Sexual compulsivity and pornography use can be overwhelming for both teens and families. The YPAST provides a structured way to assess problematic behaviors, identify potential addiction, and determine whether further steps may be needed.
Early identification can lead to effective treatment, prevent long-term damage, and support a healthier future for your teen.
Identifying Problematic Sexual Behavior
Common warning signs to look for:
-
Secrecy around devices or internet usage
-
Anxiety, shame, or defensiveness about sexual topics
-
Loss of interest in real-life relationships or hobbies
-
Using sexual content as a coping mechanism
-
Attempts to quit but inability to stop
If you’re noticing some of these signs in your child, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help.
What Happens After the Assessment?
Completing the YPAST does not create any obligation, and we will never share your contact information with third parties. Your privacy is our priority.
