Keeping the Door Open: Skills to Answering Youth’s Sexual Health Questions

The public is invited to join this community conversation on how to be an “askable” adult in the community. This workshop is geared for those who work closely with young people, parent young people, or aim to be a trusted adult in someone’s life.
It will explore different types of questions often asked about sexual health, tools, and strategies to answer challenging questions in hopes of keeping the door open continued questions and conversations. There will be practice time to put tools and resources to the test.
The goal is for adults to walk away with supportive sexual health and relationship resources to continue conversations at home and in their community.
Childcare, pizza, drinks, and translation are available. The location is ADA-compliant. This is a collaboration between Chaffee County Public Health, The Trailhead Institute, and the Partnership for Community Action.
