The guiding philosophy of Among Friends’ Social-Sexual Support Services is that every person, regardless of their life situation, needs and deserves accurate, comprehensive, and dignified information regarding sexuality, relationships, and their bodies in order to make informed decisions and live their fullest potential.

Our values regarding our services are adapted from the Our Whole Lives Comprehensive Sexuality Curriculum:

• Every person is entitled to dignity and self-worth

• Every person is entitled to their own attitudes and beliefs

• Every person deserves support in making their own decisions

• Every person deserves to be in safe, healthy relationships. Healthy relationships are:

  • Consensual

  • Non-exploitative

  • Safe

  • Developmentally appropriate

  • Based on mutual expectations and caring

  • Respectful

• Every person is entitled to fully explore their sexuality, relationships, and their body

• Every person is sexual and sexuality is a positive part of the human experience

• Sexuality includes much more than sexual behavior(s)

• Human beings are sexual from the time they are born until they die

• Sexuality in our society is damaged by violence, exploitation, alienation, dishonesty, abuse of power, and the treatment of persons as objects

If these values resonate with you then Among Friends’ social-sexual support services may be the right fit for you, or your loved one. Please peruse the rest of our site for more information.
