Our Workshops
Teaching Comprehensive Sexuality: Facilitations Skills for Teachers and Youth Service ProvidersClick for workshop details
Formats: In-person & Virtual
Length: 2 days
SERC has been training and consulting on comprehensive sexuality education in Manitoba for over 20 years. Teen Talk, our youth program, has been leading hundreds of workshops every year in and out of classrooms with youth for the same amount of time. This workshop is the foundation of our work.
As the world keeps changing, our workshop development is ongoing. If applicable, this training can speak to the Manitoba Health Curriculum learning outcomes, but we often go beyond those objectives to be more comprehensive. With a potential new curriculum on the horizon, we can help give you a head start. Not in a school? No problem, as comprehensive sexuality education has a place in many venues in and outside of school environments.
Interested in being a sexuality educator or sharpening your skills? This workshop is a great place to start. This workshop covers the values and approaches to our work. However, the bulk is exploring sexual and reproductive health topics with associated activities that you can use right away with learners of various age levels.
Operating Principles (Teaching Comprehensive Sexuality)Click for workshop details
Format: LMS
Length: Self-directed (~3 hours)
Our Operating Principles course is part of the introduction to Teaching Comprehensive Sexuality: Facilitation Skills. This self-directed course goes over the Teen Talk operating principles and how they may come up in discussions about sexual and reproductive health. The course wraps with examples from the Question Box tool that demonstrate how these principles can be applied.
Creating a Culture of Consent at WorkClick for workshop details
We are no longer offering this workshop series, but there are still resources available on the Consent at Work website, linked below.
Workplace sexual harassment is a harmful pattern of behaviour that negatively impacts individual staff as well as larger workplace units and teams. Over the course of three evenings, we broke down our project’s full session, where participants identified and discussed the underlying issues that may lead to harmful workplace sexual harassment and developed a practical lens and understanding of what ‘Consent at Work’ can mean in and for your workplace. Participants also learned effective skills for bystander intervention, how to better support staff who have disclosed experiences of workplace sexual harassment as well as information about how to navigate the local resource map of support available for Manitobans.
Participants learned how practicing Consent at Work can contribute to your workplace culture’s foundation of trust, respect, and safety from the harms of workplace sexual harassment. We delivered this workshop to participants from all levels within any workplace and covered additional topics, including bystander interventions, supporting disclosures, and navigating the resources available to Manitobans who’ve experienced workplace sexual harassment.

“SEXT ED:” Youth Sexual Development and Consensual LiteracyClick for workshop details
Formats: In-person & LMS
Lengths: Half day, Full day, and LMS Facilitated (~1 week)
People of all ages live much more of their lives online than 20 years ago. Digital dating apps are no longer trends, but norms in many places. Is it any surprise that young people are developing and experiencing their sexuality online as well?

This session will provide an overview of program learnings, challenges and successes, and SERC’s approach when working with these communities.
