Astha Ramaiya [Co-author] Shared the Journal Article - Published in Child Abuse & Neglect, June 2026
A new systematic review published in Child Abuse & Neglect examined the link between mental health and technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse (TF-CSEA). Analysing 10 studies with over 25,000 participants across seven countries, researchers found that depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and prior trauma were consistently associated with victimisation. Crucially, the relationship appears bidirectional with mental health difficulties both preceding and resulting from exploitation; creating potential cycles of repeated harm. Perhaps most striking: traditional parental monitoring through technological surveillance showed limited protective effects. What actually mattered? The quality of parent-child relationships including, open communication, emotional warmth, and trust. The findings suggest prevention efforts should combine universal school-based programmes building emotional resilience with targeted support for high-risk youth, while parent education should prioritise connection over control. With 12.5% of children globally experiencing online solicitation annually, understanding these psychological pathways is essential for effective child protection.

Cutting-Edge M&E: A Guide for Practitioners Online Course
We would like to say thank all our students for participating in our Cutting-Edge M&E: A Guide for Practitioners course and providing such a great feedback on the course:
“After the course, I came out with a new way of looking at M&E that I can apply in my work. I now have an improved knowledge of how to best design and carry out project monitoring from the project development phase, in a way that links to and supports evaluation. The course equipped me with a toolbox of evaluation techniques and resources/materials on how and when to apply them.”
“My knowledge and practice of M&E was self-taught, developed over time through professional practice, working with expert partners, and reviewing methodological studies. I never received any formal training. The course helped me to refine my existing knowledge of M&E principles and practices, to expand the range of tools and approaches I can leverage in conducting M&E and to identify some effective approaches to teach basic M&E skills to my colleagues.”
“The course provided me with an opportunity to know what challenges others face in M&E and how they solve it.”
“The course taught how to make M&E practice impactful. I think the concrete examples, especially around the main challenges surrounding M&E implementation, were very useful. I also gained an understanding of the mixed methods for evaluation and learned how to implement them”.
“The course helped to fill gaps in knowledge in the areas of methods and strategies for evaluation. I learned about evaluation frameworks and how to apply monitoring and evaluation to different settings.”
“I had an informal experience in the M&E field but no formal education. This course offered me an educational support I was missing to become a knowledgeable M&E practitioner.”
Enrolment in the Cutting-Edge M&E: A Guide for Practitioners course is currently open. You can register online on the course webpage: https://www.traass.org/course-details-cutting-edge-m-e
