Healthy relationship boundaries are an important skill for us all. We are seeing more and more examples of those who have crossed lines in our culture. Even though people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are sexual beings, just like everyone, they also need the information and skills to navigate these waters and learn what’s okay and not okay in various settings.
This FREE 60-minute workshop will explore tips and tools for addressing sexuality one-on-one with the individuals you work with. We will explore why this topic can be difficult to approach and useful tools that will help you become more comfortable and confident communicating about this sensitive topic.
Whether you like to get out there and play, watch from the sidelines or just talk about sports, you’re welcome to join our social group – Sports Talk & Analysis. We’ll spend the first meeting deciding on future discussion topics/activities based on participants’ specific sports interests. Possible topics/activities include: sports questions, current events in sports, sports movies and shows, friendly GOAT (greatest of all time) debates and sharing sports memorabilia and collectibles.
*Note: This group will be held online and discussion focused so we will not be playing any sports together.
