Part II of the Adolescence course focuses on adolescence and sexuality. How is sexuality meant to develop? What is happening today that is different than in previous generations? How does sex affect the brain and bonding? In this course, Dr. Neufeld will be examining sexuality through the lenses of attachment, maturation and vulnerability. He will shed light on why adolescents are losing their timidity, why sexual interaction is on the rise, and why sexual bullying is becoming a problem. He will also explore the meaning of safe sex when viewed psychologically and provide suggestions for contributing to the healthy unfolding of sexuality in our youth.

Note re: Course Delivery

We are trying out a new course delivery platform for this Scheduled Online Class offering of Making Sense of Adolescence Part II (it is called Simplero).

If you’ve registered for courses or events with us in the past, registration will look quite a bit different:

  • For those who currently have access to the Neufeld Virtual Campus and are looking forward to extended time on campus, we’ve got you covered! You will receive a study pass to BOTH our campus (to access additional resources and any courses that you currently have access to), as well as to Simplero, where this course will be housed. You will not be receiving access to this course through our original Virtual Campus - but you also won't be missing out.
  • Brand new students will receive a four-month Neufeld Virtual Campus study pass to explore our campus library resources, including audio and video recordings of Dr. Neufeld’s presentations from around the world, Q&As with Neufeld faculty, written articles, stories, and more!
  • If you’ve taken scheduled classes with us before, you will be receiving all of the familiar campus course components, including live (Zoom) faculty-facilitated support sessions and access to a Discussion Forum.
