Six Wednesday afternoons this fall, Access ETSU sponsors Stellar Sex Ed, a program by RISE: Healthy for Life, a local nonprofit that transforms culture round bodies and beings from fear-based to fact-based, oppression to affirmation. Preregistration is NOT required. This program is open to all members of the ETSU student community.

Stellar Sex Ed, RISE’s original curriculum, engages participants in an expansive exploration of our inner and outer space. Free of judgment, Stellar Sex Ed dismantles stigma and invites honest, compassionate curiosity about bodies, identities, and relationships. Welcome to a new age of sexuality education!

Stellar Sex Ed covers:

• Whole people

• Sexual anatomy, arousal, and consent

• Body image, sex, and gender

• Romantic and sexual orientation

• Power dynamics in relationships/Healthy relationships

• Menstruation and masturbation

• STI and pregnancy prevention and testing

Facilitators emphasize the importance of grounding decisions and creating boundaries based on personal needs, comfort, and values as well as respecting others decisions and boundaries.
