Turtle Steps Tuesday

Step 1: STOP 🛑

Big feelings can take over fast—but we can teach kids to pause.
This week’s Turtle Step: STOP and say how you are feeling.

Giving feelings a name helps kids regain control and be understood. 💬
Try it today: “I feel mad… I feel frustrated… I feel left out.”

Helping kids pause, regulate, and make better choices—one step at a time

Team Spotlight: Julia Grimm 🌟

We’re proud to highlight Julia Grimm, LISW-CP, an incredible leader and trainer with the National Center on the Sexual Behavior of Youth (NCSBY). With over a decade of hands-on experience, Julia brings deep expertise and compassion to her work in Problematic Sexual Behavior – Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (PSB-CBT™) for both school-aged children and adolescents.

A graduate of the USC College of Social Work, Julia dedicated 12 years to the Dee Norton Child Advocacy Center, where she served as a therapist, forensic interviewer, and clinical supervisor. During her time there, she provided group and family PSB-CBT services and spent eight years training clinicians to effectively deliver these evidence-based models.

Julia is nationally certified in TF-CBT and has also contributed as a trainer and consultant in Risk Reduction through Family Therapy (RRFT), supporting adolescents navigating PTSD, substance use, and other high-risk behaviors.

Beyond clinical work, Julia has shaped the next generation of social workers as an Adjunct Faculty member and Field Instructor for MSW students, and she has served on the Board of Directors for the South Carolina Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. Her impact extends across local, regional, and national stages through her presentations and leadership. Thank you, Julia, for your dedication to advancing the field and supporting youth and families across the country!

Children’s s*xual behaviors can range from typical curiosity to signs of concern.
