Training Description
For children to understand what is happening to their bodies and to minimize the potential of misunderstanding sexually problematic behavior, sexual education is key. Progressing sexual education will properly equip children with the tools they need to understand their sexuality and to avoid being exposed to harmful sexual behavior through outside influences. This training will review core concepts of sexuality and assist viewers in the development of a learning plan based on current sexual education best practices.
