The media plays a huge role in how we think about sex and sexuality. Using TV clips, movie scenes, ads and songs, we will explore how the media portrays sexual violence.  We will also discuss how we can use the media to have constructive conversations regarding sexual violence in our daily lives.

Youth-friendly reproductive resources are important to ensure young people will seek the help and information they need. We will discuss the components of youth-friendly resources, as well as highlight websites, social media pages, phone numbers, local clinics, and apps, including GCAPP’s TMI-Georgia. TMI-Georgia was created by young people for young people to have access in meeting their sexual and reproductive health needs.

Young people need adults who are approachable, non-judgmental, and open to questions. This training prepares participants to become "askable" by reviewing data and trends in adolescent sexual health, basics of puberty and adolescent development, boundaries and self-disclosures, and how to answer challenging questions. Participants will also consider how to create the safest learning environment possible for all young people.
