drawing healthy boundaries with their peers as well as the opposite sex
what is good and beneficial in terms of sexual identity and behaviour
how to hold on to their own values in the face of a sexually liberal culture
- A set of the SexEdTM Workshop content slides
- Proposed programme flow and engagement tips to conduct your own sexuality lessons and dialogues
- Become part of Focus on the Family Singapore's community of practice on sexuality education, allowing you to tap on like-minded networks of practitioners to enable ongoing learning and discussion
