The widespread availability of pornography in the digital age has significant implications for the physical and psychological health of young people. In the absence of comprehensive sexual education, young people often turn to pornography to learn about sex, it can shape their perceptions, expectations, and behaviours in ways that may not align with healthy or consensual relationships. This webinar provides insights suitable to all clinicians working with young people in both the areas of mental health and sexual and reproductive health.
Christine Waddell is a physiotherapist with over 20 years’ experience in women’s health, working across obstetrics and gynaecology. Her clinical practice includes supporting women who have experienced female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Christine holds a Master of International Health, enabling her to integrate clinical expertise with global and culturally responsive approaches in her current role as Education and Programs Officer for FGM/C and culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities. She is a co-founder of the Australian FGM/C Support Network for Healthcare Providers and is deeply committed to advancing education, advocacy, and culturally safe care. Christine has a long-held aspiration to visit the Cathryn Hamlin Fistula Hospital, with plans to undertake this visit in 2027. Recently Christine has been given the opportunity to explore the area of pornography’s impact on health which has increasingly become evident in both her clinical and non-clinical roles.
