More than Pronouns: Creating Affirming Spaces During Positive Prevention Plus

March 14, 2023 at 4:00 PM ET

We all are learning, growing, and doing the best we can for our students. Navigating conversations in a sex ed class can be complex. “Am I using the most inclusive words for this lesson?” “Is there a way I can make students in my classroom feel affirmed in their gender and sexuality during our sex ed discussions?” “Gosh, I’d love time to practice using they/them pronouns!”

Join True You Maryland partner Alicia Miller, MPH, CHES, to learn about inclusive practices in sexuality education, practice inclusive language using concrete examples from a comprehensive, evidence-based sexuality education program (Positive Prevention Plus), and discuss with colleagues from across the state how they create affirming spaces for their students and what resources they rely on.

After this training, participants will be able to:

1. Understand experiences of LGBTQ+ students in schools.
2. Identify benefits of inclusive sexuality education.
3. Describe affirming practices in sexuality education.
4. Practice using inclusive language with examples from Positive Prevention Plus.

Training sponsored by Healthy Teen Network.
