March 12, 2020 from 6-8:30pm in Eaton Humanities 135 on the campus of CU Boulder.

This training will unpack sexual development at each age from common to concerning. It also provides tips on how to start conversations, respond to behaviors, and help kids of all ages feel comfortable with their bodies, sexuality and asking questions. Participants will learn about the relationship between healthy sexuality and child sexual abuse prevention.

This is a skill-based training so get ready to share, laugh, and practice talking to kids of all ages about uncomfortable topics!

This TEDxCUSalon is done in partnership with Blue Sky Bridge.

This training will be guided by Robin Friesen-Holwell and Trish Wood.
