Exploring Personal Values & Responding to Sensitive Questions

2-2.5 hours

Understanding and responding to sensitive questions about puberty, sex, and relationships is critical for youth-serving professionals. In this session, participants explore personal values related to sexuality and the role those values may play in their comfort and confidence in responding to questions from young people. Participants will learn about five types of questions youth ask and best practices for responding. Participants will work in small groups to apply best practices and formulate responses to commonly asked questions about sex and sexuality.
