Were Liz Zadnik and Sarah Bear, NJCASAs resident specialists on all things prevention, training, and collaboration. We are excited to be among the talented presenters for this years National Sex Ed Conference!
Since 1985, theNational Sex Ed Conference(NSEC) , presented by theCenter for Sex Education, has connected professionals with information, resources, and best practices for educating about sex and sexuality.
Its grown from a New Jersey-specific one-day event into a multi-day learning space where folks from across the globe come to share best practices, emerging trends, and connect with one another and allies. NSEC has elevated discussions of technology and sexuality, social media as a platform for education, and global ideas of sexuality to a national stage.
Our session,Lets Talk About it: Building Bridges Between Sexual Violence Prevention and Sexuality Education,provides a space for sexuality educators and professionals to learn more about sexual violence prevention and explore shared values. Sexuality education and sexual violence prevention both center on creating safer spaces for all, yet dont collaborate nearly enough or inform one anothers work in a consistent way. We aim to build some bridges and work towards a more collaborative and mutually respectful partnership among professionals in both fields.
