Healthy Sexuality
Messaging Considerations
- Ensure you are providing accurate and judgement-free information to your group. Avoid making assumptions regarding who is or isn’t sexually active.
- Empower others to make decisions that make them feel safe and healthy.
- Keep in mind that everyone has varying levels of sexual education and experiences with healthy sexuality.
- Ensure your messaging is inclusive to all individuals of all identities and abilities.
