Foundations of Healthy Sexuality
Jessica Holfeltz
A clear understanding of healthy sexuality is foundational for navigating our society as a whole as well as the pornographic, exploitive culture. This presentation explores the empowerment that comes from using accurate, clear sexual health language, viewing sexual health as a progressive journey and not a destination, and exploring one’s own vision of sexual health in relation to values, beliefs, and personal experiences. In addition, attendees will be given tools to help themselves identify where they are in their own sexual health development as well as how they appropriately and effectively, without shame, teach their children about sexual health. This includes a discussion of consent - what it is and how to respectfully utilize communication regarding consent in everyday experiences. Self-exploration precedes exploration of intimacy and connection with a partner.
