Sexual Health Self Assessment
🌟Be your own Sex Therapist: Sexual Health and Well–being Self Assessment and Interventions 🌟
Sex therapy is often not accessible or available for all, and yet most could benefit from additional knowledge about sexual health and well-being. In this collaborative conversation, we will provide self-assessment tools and interventions you can try on your own or in collaboration with a helping professional. These tools go beyond basic sex ed, instead creating a structure for understanding your sexual self, moving towards your most expressive and aligned version of you, and healing the wounds from the sexually traumatizing and traumatized world we live in. This conversation is great for anyone interested in self directed sexual growth and healing and will include a zine/ workbook for further exploration.

Rejecting Mandated Reporting
‼️State Surveillance is NOT Healing‼️
Rejecting Mandated Reporting explores the harm embedded in mandated reporting practices by examining the social work, psychotherapy and colonial mental health systems. Participants will critically examine the role of diagnostic authority, the distinction between neglect vs unmet need and the parallels between involuntary hospitalization and incarceration. The workshop will also introduce concrete alternatives and community-centered approaches that support client safety without surveillance.
