The "It's That Easy:" Caregiver Sex Ed Learning Session is presented by YWCA/Evanston North Shore and Evanston School District 65. This virtual workshop is free for all to attend, but registration is necessary so the facilitator can plan accordingly.
Session Description:
This workshop is for parents, caregivers, and family members who want to go deeper in their reflection and learning around healthy sexuality, sexual health education, child and adolescent development, and how all of these things intersect. Participate in a little bit of sex ed while your students receive it in school!
Led by Hallie Cohen, 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.
Thursday, November 14, 7-8:30 pm – (caregivers of) preK-4th grade
Thursday, March 6, 7-8:30 pm – (caregivers of) 5th-8th grade
