Understanding Consent

Consent is a topic that many of us agree is important, yet most of us don’t necessarily know the best ways to talk about it. This workshop is geared towards creating a safe space to understand definitions of consent and to learn what healthy sexual communication can look like. Participants will be encouraged to participate in discussion to their levels of comfort, and these discussions can be tailored to fit various age groups.

• Defining consent and related themes
• Identifying factors that impact whether consent can be given
• Dispelling common myths around consent and sexual assault
• Creating strategies for asking for consent and healthy sexual communication
• Learning about consent advocacy and how to support loved ones who have experienced sexual assault

Workshops can be tailored to specific organizations and groups. Workshops can also include space for Q&A with the facilitator(s).
