“SEXT ED”: Youth Sexual Development and Digital Literacy

Sexuality is a core component of healthy youth development, which is increasingly happening online. This training focuses on how to reduce the risks and increase the benefits of online sexuality through an essential life skill: digital media literacy. Service providers will leave with understandings of the legal aspects of viewing and sending sexual material and ways to have open, non-judgmental conversations about sexuality and technology with youth.

Supporting diversity and promoting inclusion are essential components of working with people in culturally relevant and safe ways. This training event invites service providers to broaden their awareness and build capacity around Two-Spirit, Transgender, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Queer (2SLGBTQ+) identities and experiences.

Having the Conversation: Sexuality in Our Work with People Labelled with ID/DDs

Healthy sexuality is a key component of overall health and wellness for all people, including those labelled with an intellectual or development disability diagnosis. This introductory training will take a rights-based approach to understanding the complexities, challenges and issues with respect to sexuality, in organizations that support people living with developmental disabilities. This introduction aims to support growth in service providers looking to enhance their skills addressing and communicating about sexuality issues in their work.

Creating Inclusive Healthcare Environments

Sexuality is an important dimension to a patient’s health – and their health care experience. This training event goes beyond the basics of sexuality to support healthcare providers and clinic staff in their work fostering a safer and more inclusive environment for diverse sexual and gender identities. Participants will learn and practice sex-positive communication skills that support authentic relationship building while learning how to audit and enhance their physical space, program plans and policies to support change within the organization.
