The Hub

Talking about sexuality in the classroom can be awkward! We’ve all been there. There’s a difference between discomfort and experiencing a trauma response, though. It can be hard to know what’s going on for our students.

What can we do to become trustworthy adults and avoid harm and re-traumatization in the classroom? Join us to learn what we can do as educators to promote youth safety and wellness during sex ed and beyond.

Session 1 will focus on foundational knowledge related to trauma, and responses and manifestations in the classroom.

Session 1 is a prerequisite for Session 2, which will cover practical tools and strategies for becoming a trauma-informed educator and supporting young people during sexual health discussions.

We know youth-supporting professionals do their best when they’re connected to great opportunities and resources—and with others working in sexual and reproductive health. And when they are well-supported, we see more positive outcomes for the youth they serve. It’s why we have held this conference for more than 40 years.
