We can and should expect people to seek romantic relationships and express their sexuality. When they do, it is important to understand how to balance safety with empowerment. This training will discuss how to teach people to make informed decisions about their relationships and sexuality, and explore practical skills for supporting the sexuality of the individuals you support (from children to adults). You will build a foundation of proactive, preventative strategies to use with people you work with.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding safety, risk, and supported decision-making
• Recognizing why you should provide access to people: friends, potential partners
• Learning to manage skin hunger
• Offering safe and healthy alternative behaviors
• Recognizing the value of teaching and building social and sexual skills
