postcard imageSexual health for all young people. To achieve this ideal, every young person, even the most marginalized, requires skills for making healthy decisions and being in healthy relationships. It is built on a foundation of attitudes that value the well-being of self and others. And, it requires safe and supportive environments guiding young people on healthy passages into adulthood.

Unfortunately, we have neglected to assure these fundamentals for all young people. Many have been invisible, overlooked, and left on their own to wade through the "sexually toxic soup" so pervasive today.

At this institute, hear strategies for supporting healthy sexual development for all - those with disabilities, those with differing sexual orientation, those who have recently come to the US, those in cities, those in rural America ...

Never before has there been a bigger repertoire. New evidence helps us match successful strategies with the social, cultural, and political climates of communities. Our greatest challenge is to integrate what we know from experience with what we've learned from research to guide effective approaches in schools, clinics, and communities.

Who should attend

All who work with young people - teachers, coaches, and administrators; nurses, physicians, nutritionists, psychologists, social workers, counselors and youth workers; leaders and policy makers.
