Hosted by the PEAL Center
Young people with disabilities need and want to learn about relationships and sexuality, which is important for healthy development and well-being.
In Honest Conversations, parents and caregivers will:
- Examine barriers to talking about sexuality
- Gain knowledge about sexuality, sexual abuse, and developmental disabilities
- Acquire and practice skills in communicating with your child with a disability about sexuality
- Review topics offered in the Positive Relationships for Young People with Disabilities Series; this series is for young people aged 14-26 years and learn how to register your young person
-
And then in Positive Relationships for Young People with Disabilities, your young adult will learn the facts about safe relationships and sexuality. The five sessions include: Getting Started, Gender and Sexual Identities, Types of Relationships, Public and Private and Body Parts.
