Becoming a Truly Trusted Adult
Beyond the Birds & Bees, 2-Hour Workshop
The workshop design increases participant’s comfort level in answering difficult questions and providing accurate information. Using a multi-generational approach to sexual health education ensures young people are receiving the education necessary to make informed decisions about their sexual health. Communities and families are supported with guidance on how to approach these sensitive topics with young people.
Normalizing conversation about sexuality increases comfort and creates supportive environments for young people as they navigate their sexual values and decision-making processes. Helping adults, primarily youth-serving professionals, feel comfortable and confident talking to young people about sensitive topics in order to build healthier communities is a goal we can all be a part of achieving.
