The Growing Concern of Problematic Sexual Behavior (PSB) in Youth

By Stephen C. Schultz

If you work in education, law, healthcare, or mental health counseling, you’ve likely noticed an alarming increase in Problematic Sexual Behavior (PSB) among the individuals you serve.

One of the contributing factors is the early exposure of children to sexual material through electronic media. Alarmingly, many students at Oxbow Academy report their first exposure to pornography as early as four years old. This issue affects families across the country and around the world, transcending race, religion, and socioeconomic status.

Below is a video of an actual conversation with parents whose teenage sons are struggling with sexual behavior problems. For families facing similar challenges, it’s crucial to understand:

The Young Boy and the Rattlesnake

By Stephen C. Schultz (Editors note: This is a story used in a Wilderness Treatment Program. Many come to this program having struggled with depression, anxiety and substance use.) Many years ago there was a young Native American who lived in the very land you are residing in. He decided to seek wisdom by journeying to the top of Indian Peak. As he approached the base of the mountain he came across a rattlesnake that slithered beside him. The snake coiled as if to strike and the young boy moved back quickly in fear of being struck by the snake’s deadly venom. At that instant the snake spoke to the boy saying, “Don’t be afraid of me, I mean you no harm. I come to you to ask a favor.

Holiday Insight: Finding Grace in Imperfect Relationships

By Stephen C. Schultz As we once again head into the Holiday Season, it is important to be aware of the impact of the holidays on those we love and care about.

As I work with teens and families that struggle with a myriad of problems, the one thing that amazes me is the tendency for families to keep thinking and behaving in the same ways and expecting positive changes to take effect. How often do we hope to change our destination in life, but fail to change the route? Here is fun story with a great message!
