Stigma around periods is usually learned from a young age. We want to change that!⁠
⁠
We recently hosted our first ever Period Party to help young girls prepare for when they menstruate and build comfort talking about it. Participants also got a chance to learn how different menstrual products work.⁠
⁠
Open, honest conversations and giving people the facts about how bodies work can lay the groundwork for a healthier attitude toward menstruation.⁠
⁠
We'll be offering more of these in the near future - stay tuned!

“Diversity is all around us and we all want to serve our clients the best way we can … This training offers an opportunity to engage in conversations and learn about things that might not always be at the front of our minds but are important to the clients we serve.”

Organizations in rural communities often don't have access to the same resources as those in the city.

Thanks to generous funding from RBC, we are looking to train 1,000 professionals in rural Alberta by August. Our workshops can help any organization that wants to create safer, more inclusive environments, particularly those serving newcomers or Indigenous populations.

We sat down with Kyle, one of our Training Centre facilitators, to talk about this initiative and why it's so valuable for organizations that are already overloaded: https://www.centreforsexuality.ca/training-centre-cat/expanding-inclusive-training-in-rural-communities/

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, a day to raise awareness and celebrate the contributions of transgender people.

This day was was created in 2010 by trans advocate Rachel Crandall in response to the most media stories about transgender people being focused on violence. TDOV gives us an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the lives of transgender people while still acknowledging the barriers they face.

While the opportunity to learn exists year-round, consider taking some time today to learn and reflect. Some resources:

"We can only move at the speed of trust. Building relationships takes time, more time than we often think it will take, but the investment is worth it."

Today is Two-Spirit and Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+ Awareness and Celebration Day. We were lucky to get some time with our very own Marshall Vielle to talk about inclusion, building programming that actually reflects community needs and building trust as the foundation for lasting change.
