Consent for Kids

Kids need consent. They need to know when it’s okay to say no and how to ask for a yes. As the world continues to change and consent becomes even more prominent, adults need to know how to talk to kids about consent and consent practices. We also need to be able to explain and model consent in an age appropriate way. Join us for a workshop on why kids need consent, what talking to them about consent is like, and how to adjust your approach for different age groups. Together we can work to reduce the harm our kids experience, teach them how to avoid harming others, and build a larger and more robust consent culture. 

2 Hours with a ½ hour Q&A at the end. Handouts and Zoom link will be emailed on the day of the class. If you purchased tickets for a group, please forward those emails to everyone in your group.
