In this conversation, Asmahan discusses the critical need for improved safeguarding strategies in education, particularly in the context of sexual health and behavior management. She emphasizes the importance of cultural responsiveness in her work within the Arab world, highlighting the skills necessary for effective intervention. Asmahan explains the concept of behavioral activation, detailing how it can be adapted to address inappropriate sexual behaviors while respecting cultural values. The conversation also touches on her research findings, which demonstrate the effectiveness of behavioral activation in reducing such behaviors, and the practical steps involved in implementing this approach with families. She emphasizes the role of caregivers in sexual health education, the cultural and legal barriers faced in the Arab world, and the necessity of tailoring sexual health curricula to fit cultural contexts.
