Lets talk about sex

Talking with youth about sex can be challenging. The Let’s Talk about Sex workshop offers strategies for youth workers on making these conversations easier. During this workshop we will cover “door openers” and “door slammers” for talking with teens, basic principles of Motivational Interviewing, tips for starting the conversation and how to make referrals for sexual health services. Project SAFE is happy to come to your space and can tailor the workshop to the needs of your organization.
