Saleema Noon- Talk Sex Today workshops

 


Talk Sex Today. 

Body Science Boot Camp for Parents 


 

Parenthood never arrives with a rulebook, and when it comes to explaining the world of sexual health to your child, it can be hard not to end up a bright shade of red. Using humour and straight talk in an open, interactive environment, Saleema Noon Sexual Health Educators will show you how easy it is to convey healthy, positive messages about sexual health to kids.

 

In this workshop parents will learn:

 

• Why we need to talk to children about sexual health at a young age
• How to reduce risk of child sexual abuse
• What children should know at each stage of development, with specific examples of how to explain concepts and processes
• How to become their kids’ preferred source of sexual health information
• How to normalize open, honest sexual health conversations in their family
• How to effectively answer even the toughest questions kids ask
• What will be covered in Body Science workshops for students

 

When:  Feb 27, 2024 (via zoom) 

 

Time:  6:30 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) 


Zoom Link will be emailed out to parents closer to the event


**In person kids workshops Wednesday February 28th & Thursday February 29th & Friday March 1st (half day for the Annex)**
