Presented by Nick Lawrence, this workshop helps caregivers talk to their youth, of any age, about the Facts of Life. It focuses on the 5 Circles of Health Sexuality, which include: Sensuality, Intimacy, Relationship Identity, Health and Reproduction and Sexualization. The concept of Consent is woven through each circle and relates to children of every age. Asking children if they want to hold hands or be tickled is a great way for them to understand and practice bodily autonomy. A lack of bodily autonomy is correlated with early unwanted pregnancy and perpetuation of sexual abuse and trafficking.
