5th-8th Grade Caregiver Sex Education Workshop: It's That Easy

This workshop is for parents, caregivers, and family members who want to deepen their knowledge about healthy sexual development, sexual identity, and relationships and how to discuss these topics with their children and teens. Participate in a little bit of sex ed while your students receive it in school!

Led by Hallie Cohen, Senior Training and Prevention Coordinator for YWCA Evanston/North Shore and sex education consultant to D65, this workshop will be an engaging, interactive, and discussion-based. During this workshop, participants will:

• Explain how their own experience with sexuality education impacts how and what they share with their own children;
• Identify the most important values and messages they would like to pass on to their children about sexuality;
• Gain an understanding of healthy sexual development for their child’s age range;
• Identify teachable moments during which they can share information and family values regarding sexuality.

This workshop will be held twice, with the focus being on different age groups. If you are unable to attend the date with the ideal focus for you, feel free to register for the other date. You will surely get a lot out of it, and some of the material will be the same.

• Tuesday, March 10, 6-7:30 pm – (caregivers of) preK-4th grade
• Tuesday, March 24, 6-7:30 pm - (caregivers of) 5th-8th grade

You do not need to be a D65 family to attend, this event is open to all!
