Most evidence-based sexual health education curricula address neither the information that directly apply to 2SLGBTQIA+ youth nor best-practices for truly engaging 2SLGBTQIA+ youth in sex ed. This training will equip educators with the tools they need to effectively neutralize their language, expand engagement strategies, and implement curricula adaptations to effectively serve LGBTQ+ youth.
This session is a foundational training meant to prepare sexual health educators, school personnel, and other youth work professionals to support young people. Topics covered include holistic sexuality, adolescent growth & development, reproductive health, responding to sensitive questions, values in sexual health education, consent, contraception, and more.
In this session, participants will learn valuable insights and best practices for replicating a youth-centered program model that shares power with young people, combats internalized Adultism, adapts to unforeseen challenges, and creates spaces where youth can authentically impact their community. This session will be interactive and motivating, with many opportunities to reflect on our work in collaboration with young people and to set goals for the programs that serve them.
This training will explore how myths, stereotypes, racial reproductive history, and facilitator identity impact effective sexuality education and program delivery.
