Healthy Relationships Workshops

All people deserve accurate information on healthy relationships.  Healthy relationships require information on bodies, communication, consent, sexuality, sexually transmitted infections, and resources on where to find support.  These workshops use resources curated by Dr. Nick Winges-Yanez.  Dr. Winges-Yanez has been teaching healthy relationship skills to self-advocates for over 8 years. 

Topics covered include:

  • Communication
  • Relationships
  • Friendships
  • Anatomy and Physiology
  • Consent

In these courses, students will gain a better understanding of the nuances of healthy relationships, how to recognize unsafe behaviors, and how to effectively communicate with friends and significant others. 

Information and resources will be provided to caregivers and support staff to encourage communication and knowledge.  A separate course is available for family members and support staff.
