We will cover everything from how we feel about our own bodies, our relationships, our values, cultural messages, messages about race and sex, how we identify, our orientation and reproductive health. We want advocates leaving the training feeling much more comfortable with our own bodies and sexuality. We can’t ask survivors to talk with us if we are not ready.
We also hope you laugh a lot! Let’s change the way we talk about sexuality so that the rest of the world catches up with us.
