“I appreciated how comfortable the presenters made each participatant feel to open up about sensitive and uncomfortable topics.”
“This is an amazing training series and I would encourage all my co-workers to take these classes to learn all the information in each of these classes. ”
“You’d be surprised how many people want to advocate for people’s sexuality, but they do it behind closed doors. This helps us open the conversation and bring it out in the open in a safe way.”
