This week ... Relationships!

This week's workshop is based on relationships.  Lots of different relationships ... friends, family, peers, teachers, workers, clergy, romantic partners ... you get the picture.

Obviously I'm not going to spend the whole session just talking about types of relationships.  My focus will be on safety within those relationships ... power, what is and is not ok in different kinds of relationships, red flags for unhealthy relationships, sexual assault and domestic violence.

I think that it's important to go beyond the mechanics and technicalities of sex, and talk about the more personal side of things.  Sex doesn't happen in a vacuum (and if it does ... well ... let's chat ...); there are a whole bunch of other factors involved with a person's decision to engage or not engage in sexual activity.  From now until the end of the workshop, it's that kind of stuff that we will be talking about on Wednesday nights!

Which reminds me - this is week 7 already!  Wow!  It's gone by SO FAST, and has been far more successful than I could have asked for.  This is GREAT!
