Teaching Sexual Health Education Teaching about sex can be a daunting challenge. In this training program, we develop the knowledge, skills and comfort level necessary to deliver effective sexual health education that recognizes a range of sexual options and underscores the potential positive and negative outcomes of sex.
Sexual Health Education for Clients with Special Needs This program introduces service providers, caregivers and parents to sexual health education for special needs clients. In particular, we discuss strategies for ensuring safety, promoting respect, communicating boundaries and managing challenging situations.
Anti-Homophobia Education How can we challenge heterosexist norms to foster and embrace diversity? What are the consequences of homophobic language, stereotypes and discrimination? In this workshop, participants develop analytical and activist tools to combat homophobia.
Healthy Sexual Relationships What does a healthy sexual relationship look like? What are the principles of sexual pluralism and how can we put theory into practice and overcome practical challenges? In this session, we assess components of healthy sexuality and develop strategies for developing and maintaining healthy sexual relationships.
Embracing the Sex-Positive Perspective In this workshop, we discuss and develop strategies for embracing sex-positive values in personal, clinical and professional settings. We also critique media portrayals of sexuality and the impact of conflicting messages that revere limited forms of sexual expression while disparaging or discounting the diversity of real sexual experiences. The objectives of this workshop include learning to recognize our own limitations and developing a framework for supporting sexual pluralism.
Sex and Aging In this workshop, we celebrate the aging process and discuss changes in sexual functioning to promote healthy, pleasurable sex for people of all ages.
Healthy Sexuality for People Living with HIV/AIDS Promoting quality of life for PHAs is a key component of a holistic approach to care. This comprehensive approach to providing support includes the celebration of healthy sexuality. In this workshop, we explore the wide variety of ways in which PHAs and people living with STIs can embrace sexual activity, relationships and expression. Safety, pleasure and managing health-related challenges are addressed.
Communicating About Sex: Beyond the Basics Talking about sex is fundamental to healthy sexual relationships. In this session, we consider strategies for communicating about sensitive sexual issues that aren’t covered in your standard sexual education class.
Sexual Diversity This session is designed for professionals who want to embrace a pluralistic approach to client-care and considers the many facets of sexual diversity including sexual orientation, identity, desire, activity and relationships. We examine our personal limitations and their sources to develop strategies for reconciling personal subjectivities with sex-positive service delivery.
Sexually Transmitted Infections This session addresses the basics of STIs and discusses the wide array of sexual activities that can reduce the likelihood of transmission and enhance sexual pleasure.
Safer Sex Safer sex involves maximizing positive outcomes and minimizing the risk of unwanted outcomes of sexual activity. In this workshop, we explore a range of approaches to reduce the likelihood of STIs and unwanted pregnancy while promoting fun, pleasurable sexual activities.
Negotiation Skills for Youth Comprehensive sex education includes a discussion of not only safer sex, but relationships, communication skills and the emotional aspects of sexuality. Youth require accurate information, practiced decision-making skills and a foundation of self-esteem to effectively negotiate healthy, pleasurable and empowering experiences. In this workshop, we experiment with a variety of approaches to negotiating healthy sexual relationships.
Childhood Sexual Development Sexual development spans the lifetime and is a core component if healthy growth. This session outlines the developmental stages of childhood sexuality from birth through age eighteen. Participants will explore strategies for sex-positive parenting.
