Sex talk. No sweat.
A Body Science Workshop for Parents and Children
May 21 (parent only workshop) and May 26 (children’s workshops – parents must attend with their children)
Not all parents are comfortable talking to their children about sex, but all parents can learn to be comfortable. Attendees will discover how to easily overcome embarrassment when talking about sexual health, learn words and concepts that are easy to use, and leave well equipped to clearly answer the questions children ask. The workshop is light hearted, but delivers straight and current facts on how parents and children can work together to promote good sexual decisions for a lifetime. In their Body Science presentations, Saleema Noon and her team of educators work with children, teaching them about healthy bodies and healthy sexuality in ways they find non-threatening and entertaining.
The Panorama Heights PAC is excited to present Cath Blythe from Saleema Noon Sexual Health Educators. Cath earned her nursing degree in 1997. Her passion for family health led her to community-based child health nursing, focusing on preventative health education
