August 2010: "Healthy Sexuality: Promotion and Prevention" Wednesday 18th in Raleigh from 9:00am – 4:30pm Registration is from 8:30am – 9:00am and there will be an hour and a half break for lunch (on your own). Participants will be provided with the training address after registering. This training is free for NCCASA members and $10.00 for non-members. Registration MUST be received by Friday August 6th, 2010. Training description:What would it mean to have a culture that supports and promotes healthy sexuality as a part of human development? In the field of sexual violence prevention, we spend a lot of time identifying behaviors we want to reduce. Many advocates share a common definition of sexual violence, but how do we define what we want to promote and talk about regarding healthy sexuality? The role of sexuality has been largely avoided in our work, but addressing how we are socialized to view it can offer new insights. This workshop will propose and describe a healthy sexuality framework, and illustrate how tools and theories from the field of sexual health promotion can augment sexual violence primary prevention efforts. Material covered: Primary prevention, promotion, and how these concepts interact A discussion of healthy sexuality while recognizing the diversity inherent within any definition of “sexuality” An explanation of the relevance of the healthy sexuality concept for the primary prevention of sexual violence Identify examples of projects using a healthy sexuality promotion approach
