The Spectrum Experience: A 2-part Series on Sexual Health and Wellness For Parents/Caregivers

Event Description: 

This workshop is for PARENTS, GUARDIANS, FAMILY MEMBERS OF YOUTH/YOUNG ADULTS WITH DISABILITES. 

If you find it uncomfortable to talk with your child about sexuality and puberty, you’re not alone. Most parents do. However, being comfortable talking about this with your child is so important, as these conversations are critical to your child’s health and safety. They help your child with a disability develop self-care skills, cultivate social skills, gain an understanding of appropriate behaviors, increase personal safety, and work toward becoming a more independent adult.

Parents know their children best and are the ones who determine when and what information their child needs regarding sexual health. This training will provide information for parents/guardians and offer practical tools and strategies you can use along your child’s journey to adulthood.

Date; March 28th & 31st, 2022

Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30PM

Where: Online

THIS TRAINING HAS 2 SESSIONS. REGISTRANTS SHOULD PLAN TO ATTEND BOTH THE MARCH 16TH AND MARCH 23RD SESSIONS.
