Sex Ed. For Real.

Join us to look at common experiences from history, discuss how we can show that we are safe and welcoming to others, and explore ways to make our communities more supportive and healthy for everyone. Free and open to the public.

RISE will be closed July 28-August 15 to give our staff and volunteers time to rest and recharge. Thanks for your understanding, and remember to take time for yourself, too!

Workshop for local teens on Healthy Relationships for Life—your organization, your community, your extended family can have a workshop, too—just reach out!

The Tennessee Equality Project (TEP) and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) have authored several new policy briefs on state-sponsored LGBTQ+ discrimination in Tennessee.

Everyone can talk about natural things like bodies, sex, and relationships in responsible, affirming, ways that leave shame and stigma at the door and uplift bodily autonomy, responsibility, and healthy communication skills.

These are skills that we can build on for our whole lives. Sex ed isn’t just for teens—sex ed is for all!
