Creating a safe container of acceptance, nonjudgement, body + sex positivity and belonging is critical for the well-being of youth. In this workshop you will learn how to support youth in processing unaccepting attitudes from dominant culture, peers and families systems. You will be guided in practices that support cultivating resilience, developing self-awareness, and a strong self-love. For youth, a mindfulness-based approach around body awareness can support healthy choices around sex and intimacy. This foundation can be especially transformative by providing compassionate practices, awareness practices, and healthy honest conversation around these challenging topics. You will gain tools to deepen your allyship to your clients, in a way that truly honors the intersectional layers of their identities.
