Sending “nudes” or intimate messages is real. It happens. This 90-minute session isn't about shaming or scaring students; it’s about giving them straight-up info, practical tips, and tools to stay in control of their digital reputation and identity. 

We’ll unpack the difference between sexting, nudes, and sextortion (when someone threatens to share your stuff unless you pay or do something). We’ll also dive into why some teens say yes, why things spiral out of control, and how legal rules actually apply when youth consensually and non-consensually share an intimate image.

What students will learn:

• How to speak up – when to say “no,” block, screenshot, and report

• Consent and the law -  what’s allowed and not allowed under law, and what counts as non-consensual sharing and possible criminal consequences specific to the sending of an intimate image or video

• How to recognize and respond to the new threat of AI deepfake nudification

• Supporting others & calling out the real problem – holding the people who misuse intimate images accountable, and empowering bystanders

• Real strategies to use  when feeling pressured to send a nude

This program isn’t about lecturing or using fear to get a point across. Instead, we’ll walk students through some of the hundreds of real situations we've helped other youth navigate when their nudes went public, or were used in a sextortion scheme, sharing these stories in a way that’s open, honest, and easy to relate to. We speak in the language students actually use, making the conversation feel real rather than scripted. Students will leave with practical tools they can use right away, not just worst-case examples meant to scare. Most importantly, it’s a space free of judgment, where students are encouraged to ask questions, speak openly, and learn without feeling embarrassed.
