Your Course Description

Your Competency Focus Area

Youth Development

Sexuality messages are all around us, from the time we are born through the end of our lives. Navigating these messages without support from caring adults can prove challenging for youth.
Having developmentally appropriate sexuality conversations with youth of all ages promotes overall health and wellbeing. But many youth workers do not feel confident about how or when to have these conversations.
This training provides information on typical and atypical sexual development for youth ages 0-18. You’ll gain tips for having appropriate sexuality conversations at any age. And build your confidence through practice scenarios.
