Taking the weird out of sex education will be Tuesday, April 29th at 8pm EST / 7pm CST / 5pm PST
Talking about sex, bodies, and relationships can feel weird, but it doesn’t have to! Whether you’re a parent, educator, or just someone who wants to have better conversations, this workshop will help you navigate "the talk" with confidence, clarity, and inclusivity.
In this workshop we will explore:
--Why sex ed can feel awkward (and how to move past it)
--Language that makes conversations easier & more natural
--Why ongoing, shame-free discussions matter
--How to make sex ed inclusive & affirming for all
--Connecting to age-appropriate, evidence-based resources (with a focus on high school & up)
