SEX ED BASICS ACADEMY
The Sex Ed Basics Academy is designed for both newcomers to sexual and reproductive health and youth-service professionals seeking to refresh their knowledge. This series of 3.5-hour trainings can help parents, teachers, school staff, after-school and camp counselors, tutors, mentors, and others to provide well-informed sex education to the youth with whom they interact.
We recommend first attending the two Core Academy Courses that offer a foundation in child sexual development and skills for communicating with youth about sexuality. Then, taking as many of the six Elective Academy Courses as you can will complete your mastery of the Sex Ed Basics!
Core Academy Courses:
10/27/11 – Speaking with Confidence about Sexuality (Cost: $29)
11/10/11 – Child Sexual Development: What to Expect at Each Stage (Cost: $29)
Elective Academy Courses:
