Your Brain on Porn | Parenting, Young People & Online Exposure | Mary Sharpe
In this episode of Care Visions Family Talk, host Lucy Johnston speaks with Mary Sharpe, co-founder and Chief Executive of The Reward Foundation, about the impact of online pornography on young people’s brains, relationships and overall wellbeing. Mary draws on over a decade of work teaching, researching and speaking internationally about how easy access to sexually explicit content can shape expectations, behaviours and developmental patterns — and how families and carers can respond with understanding rather than fear. This conversation offers compassionate guidance grounded in evidence, helping listeners deepen their awareness and support young people in navigating today’s digital world.
