Kia Ora, welcome to the Reviving Hope podcast with me your host Bronnie Tressler. I know what it is to struggle with and recover from significant mental health ...
In this episode I sit down with Brett Harvey, an outstanding communicator who equips parents and educators with the tools to effectively talk about pornography with children and youth. His organisation Tāima Kōrero, Time to Talk, is helping to mitigate the harmful effects of pornography on young people in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
In this conversation Brett has a message for parents, as well for those who use pornography and wish they could quit. Brett is relatable with his own recovery journey. We touch on the topics of shame and set backs as they are particularly relevant to ‘churched’ youth. Many of us know from lived experience, that shame from mental illness can cause isolation and suffering. There will be those who use porn, and experience mental health challenges as well. Please share this vital message with family, friends and church leaders.
