Join me and a collection of hand-picked clinicians and experts for Everyone Deserves Sex Ed’s newly expanded 40-hour sex educator certification, scheduled Sept. 30-Oct. 1, Oct. 7-8, 14-15, 2023 online!
This is a 6-day, 40-hour certification for anyone looking to jump-start their sex education career, participate in professional development, or become a valuable resource to their community. Over the course of three weekends, EDSE attendees will learn key information about human sexuality, intimate health, consent, relationships, and communication skills using an intersectional lens that is informed by social, disability, and racial justice frameworks.
Attendees also will be introduced to several models for responding to questions and sharing information, and trained to respond to sex-related questions in a concise, compassionate, and nonjudgmental manner. This training also may leave attendees with new insight into their own sexuality — a fun side effect of sex education training.
EDSE welcomes trainees of all experience levels and from any service-centered field, including:
Healthcare providers
Social services professionals
Youth mentors
Non-profit sector professionals
Mental health practitioners
Educators & advocates
Case managers
Treatment & recovery professionals
Adult industry professionals
This coursework will cover the basics of human sexuality, sexual health, and communication skills in order to provide attendees with a foundational understanding of key topics including:
Safer sex
Sexually transmitted infections: symptoms, treatment & prevention
Harm reduction & risk management
Sexual anatomy
Pregnancy & birth control
Relationship dynamics
Sexual communication
Consent
Pleasure
Sex toys & pornography
PLEASE NOTE: This is an introductory foundational course on human sexuality. As with any course of study, there is no way to “complete” an education in human sexuality, and 40 hours is not nearly enough time to cover all of the intricate, fascinating, and evolving components. Recommendations for continued education will be provided on the final day.
The Fall 2023 session meets the requirements of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) and is approved for 40 AASECT CE Credits. These CE Credits may be applied toward AASECT certification and renewal of certification.
