If it makes you feel uncomfortable, know that you may be protecting them from sexual violence, as either a victim or perpetrator. Tell them that they have control over who they allow to touch their body, for what, and for…

Training is a great way to build comfort and competence among sex education facilitators. But a single training doesn’t always leave everyone feeling fully prepared to deliver sex ed. This is understandable when you consider the wide range of skills needed to be a fully competent facilitator. It’s great to share your contact information in…

I want you to imagine walking in an over-air-conditioned, loud, congested room with horrible lighting filled up with side-by-side posters with intricate titles and crammed text where one is more jam-packed and confusing than the next. All of a sudden, you see a visually attractive, attention-grabbing poster that is calling you to get closer and…
