YAI (Young Adult Institute)

Sexuality Values: Myths, Biases, and Policy

This is an in-person training and attendees will earn 6 CE contact hours.

This workshop is designed as a train-the-trainer course. It is important for staff who train any sexuality material to be properly trained themselves. Myths, unconscious biases, and deep-set values can be transmitted through service and unintentionally affect people receiving services. This violates their rights.

Cost: $150
