Sexuality Educator Antiracist Training (SEAT)
Intended audience: Professionals who work in sex education and health education fields; sexuality therapists and counselors; peer educators
Developed by the Institute for Sexuality & Intimacy, LLC, Sexuality Educator Antiracist Training (SEAT) empowers sexuality educators with skills to confront, interrupt, de-construct, and challenge racism in sexuality attitudes and education, across all types of curricula.
SEAT is an answer to the question, "What do I do when a racist incident happens under my supervision — whether I or someone else was the source of harm?" This intensive training offers an experiential approach to antiracist practices from a pluralistic viewpoint that goes beyond centering whiteness.
