Puberty Workshop for Students & Parents

Parents and caregivers have many hopes for their children:

• That they are happy and healthy with themselves and their relationships
• That they can appreciate and take care of their bodies
• They can have relationships that are fun, meaningful and consensual; they are not exploited

In these sessions we will learn how to talk about sexuality in a way that will help children feel more comfortable with growing up and develop skills to stay safe.

Session 1: Growing up and going through puberty can be exciting but scary too – for both teens and their parents! In this session participants will learn about the body, social, and feelings changes that happen to all children in adolescence. We will discuss practical tools to address hygiene, deal with emotions and learn about public and private spaces and behaviours.

Session 2: Having a period is a typical part of growing up but it can be challenging to understand and manage. In this session participants will learn the how, what, and why of menstruation including practical tips to help.

Date & Time: Saturday, March 16th, from 9:30 – 10:30am (mixed), 11:00 – 12:00pm (girls)

Location: Upstairs in the multipurpose room

RSVP by Friday, March 1st
