SESSION INFO: « Back to all events
Women with cognitive disabilities get together in person, eat pizza, and have conversations about dating, love, relationships, and sex with a Certified Sexual Health Educator. Real Talk is a sexual health initiative. We want to make it less awkward for folks to talk to the people who support them about things like dating, love, relationships, and sex. Most of us are Certified Sexual Health Educators. Our events are chill, relaxed, supportive places where people can try out having these kinds of conversations.
** THIS EVENT IS FOR CISGENDER WOMEN, TRANSGENDER WOMEN AND NONBINARY PEOPLE ONLY. **
Everybody has questions about dating, love, relationships, and sex. Things like: How do I meet a boyfriend / girlfriend / partner? How do I let my family know that I want to date? How can I make sex safer? What is consent? It’s totally normal. But sometimes it can be hard to know where to get good information. At this event, we’ll watch some Real Talk videos, and have a conversation hosted by a Certified Sexual Health Educator. We’ll talk about where to get good information, who can support us with this stuff, and how to figure out confusing situations. People are welcome to talk about things, or to just listen if they don’t want to talk.
Bring your questions and your knowledge / experience! Think of some questions you have about dating, love relationships or sex that you can ask at the event. Or think about some things you’ve learned about this stuff that you could share with others. Or think about some experiences you’ve had that you’d like to discuss. Also think about what you need to help you feel comfortable and relaxed at the event. We’ll ask everyone this before we start on the day.
