Supporting Puberty and Adolescence

Young people with disabilities may require specific teaching strategies when learning about puberty, sexuality and relationships.

This workshop provides practical information for parents/carers, teachers, support workers, and health professionals to support young people in their understanding and experience of puberty.

Topics we cover:

• What is puberty and adolescence?

• Sex, gender and gender dysphoria

• Public and private

• Sexual feelings, arousal and masturbation

• Menstruation

• Hygiene

• Best practice approaches to teaching about puberty

This workshop is for parents, carers, students, teachers and health professionals. There is a limit of 3 participants from the same organisation.

This is a full day workshop with coffee/tea and biscuits provided. Please bring your own water bottle and lunch. We have a fridge and microwave that you’re welcome to use.

Please note: if you are a HCC holder 50% of the ticket price ($60) will be refunded on proof of HCC. You can upload a photo of your HCC at the time of ordering for a faster refund.

Our workshops are in person only. Due to a limited capacity within our education team, we are not able to offer online workshops at this time.

Alternatively, we offer in-person or online professional development workshops for your team or organisation. This could be one of our signature Workshops, or a custom workshop tailored to your organisation's specific needs.
