Let us help you create an environment that are safe and inclusive for your colleagues, clients, and patients
We live in a society that’s rich in diversity. Inclusion, safety, and respect are core values at most Canadian organizations—regardless of the industry sector.
Whether you’re looking to improve 2SLGBTQ+ Diversity and Inclusion in your organization, or develop your capacity to engage clients and patients in conversations about sexual health, sexuality, and relationships, we can help.
The Training Centre workshops provide practical tips and strategies for health and social service providers to take your work to the next level. We’ll help you fill in gaps, increase your confidence, and deepen your knowledge to help serve your clients or patients.
Our workshops build knowledge, awareness, and skill
Supporting Client Sexuality and Sexual Health
Many people want to have conversations about sexuality and sexual health with their healthcare providers. These engaging and interactive online workshops can increase your confidence, and deepen your knowledge to help serve your clients or patients.
STBBIs, Substance Use and Stigma
Centre for Sexuality has partnered with the CPHA for a five-year project to engage healthcare professionals to reduce stigma related to STBBIs, sexuality and substance use out of hopes of increasing access to testing and supports.
Consent and Violence Prevention
We offer a range of consent and bystander training sessions that have been tailored for various sectors including corporate workplaces and the hospitality industry. Our Creating a Culture of Consent Workshops address sexual harassment across all sectors.
2SLGBTQ+ Diversity and Inclusion
Education on sexual and gender diversity inclusion is critical for maintaining organizational change. We tailor our training for all levels of employees—from executive leaders to front-line staff.
Your organization can choose from a menu of options that best suit your own workplace culture, including
- webinar style lunch-and-learns
- interactive half-day, 2-hour, or 1-hour workshops
- custom made and self-paced online workshops to be hosted on your organization’s Learning Management System
Supporting Sexuality in Older Adults
Societal messages often suggest that older adults are not sexual beings. However, we all have the human right to experience and participate in relationships, connections, sexuality, and love. As professionals, it is important to feel confident and comfortable engaging in conversations about sexual health and sexuality with your older clients.
Supporting Sexuality in People with Developmental Disabilities
Information about sexual health is often inaccessible for people with developmental disabilities. We all have the human right to experience and participate in relationships, connections, sexuality, and love. As professionals, it is important to feel confident and comfortable engaging in conversations about sexual health and sexuality with your clients who have developmental disabilities.
Natural Supports Framework Training
The Natural Supports Framework supports clients to rely on, and contribute to, a lifelong network of family, community, and peer relationships. Research suggests that practitioners understand the importance of natural supports but may not effectively engage them without tools and supports. This is a three-part series of online training for professionals working with clients and families. After you take part one, you will engage in 6-8 weeks of practicing a natural supports approach before taking part two.
Expanding Offerings for Health Care Professionals
Thanks to generous funding from the Government of Canada’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Fund, Centre for Sexuality is developing capacity-building training for both pre-service and practicing health care professionals (HCPs). These offerings will help HCPs integrate sexual and reproductive health into their practice and better assist underserved populations.
