Positive Sexuality and Youth Training: October 13th and 14th.
Positive Sexuality & Youth (Introduction) - October 13th, 2009
We all want the best for young people, but this often does not
include teaching young people about both the joys and the dangers of
sex and intimacy.
This training will take participants through the basics of sex
education and how to incorporate youth- friendly messages into our
prevention efforts. We will give an overview of Positive Sexuality
and provide examples for teaching anatomy, STI myths and facts, HIV,
and healthy relationships. We will also practice through intensive
activities how to handle questions about sex that young people might
have in real settings. No previous experience is required to attend
this training. (5 CE credits)
Positive Sexuality & Youth (Extended Learning) - October 14th, 2009
Abstinence Only education? Comprehensive Sex Education? No
matter which side of the debate you’re on, both models restrict the
possibilities for students.
This training further explores HIFY’s approach to a holistic and
comprehensive sex(uality) education and supports participants in
uncovering the hidden and sex negative messages that might
subconsciously come into our work. We will explore personal values and
boundaries around sex, and how to have those conversations with the
youth we serve. We will focus on working with youth survivors and
youth of color. Participants will be introduced to Sexual Harm
Reduction and practice talking with youth about how to stay safe. Our
Introduction to Positives Sexuality & Youth is highly recommended. (5
CE credits)
**We want these trainings to be accessible to all providers seeking to
make a better world for young people. If you’re concerned about
pricing, give me a call so we can discuss the many financial aid
options!
All Courses meet the qualifications for 5 hours of continuing
education credit for MFTs and/or LCSWs as required by the California
Board of Behavioral Sciences. Provider Number 4478.
