Listen now
Description
Join me for a brief review of the highlights in the past 100 years with sexual health education in Ontario— How did we get here, what can we learn & not repeat…. And what is needed to move forward with an updated, consistent & current information with school sexual health curriculum. What is needed is sex positivity! By advocating consent culture, body autonomy and teaching practical tools to navigate current challenges to negotiate healthy sexual relationships.
