How does inclusion relate to sexuality education? Let us count the ways!

Responsible, inclusive sexuality education intentionally recognizes and values all students. It is lifelong and involves a holistic approach that shares knowledge and helps students of all ages, orientations, colors, and identities build communication and relationship skills that will help them be healthy for life.

Abstinence-only programs promote only one type of identity and orientation, and traditional sex ed frequently incorporates racial and gender-based bias unintentionally.

At RISE: Healthy for Life we believe that an understanding of one’s own body, heart, and mind is a human right and that sex and sexuality are normal, natural parts of human life and loving.

Lunch-and-Learn participants will leave with a better understanding of:

• What responsible, inclusive sexuality education (RISE) is—and isn’t.

• Why RISE is important.

• Where people can—and can’t—get RISE in Tennessee and why.

Presented by Cindi Huss, managing director of RISE: Healthy for Life. RISE provides and promotes responsible, inclusive sexuality education in Tennessee—because our folx deserve it. Cindi is a certified Our Whole Lives sexuality education facilitator for all levels from Kindergarten through older adult.

We hope you will join us!
