AND THE BIRTHING SPACE --_ Presented by Jessica 'JR' Chester, CHW, Owner

the traditional birthing space in the USA. It will focus on the experiences
of teen parents of color in these spaces today: their rights, the
intersection of culture and coercion, and factors that contribute to
positive and negative birthing experiences. Finally, this session will
touch on ways to bring agency to teen parents in birthing spaces.
MAY 2021 WEBINAR:
LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Sex Ed: Redefining “Inclusivity” as Equity, Access,
and Shared Power
May 12, 10-11 am CST
Inclusive sexual health education is critical for LGBTQIA+ youth, but
it’s more than just changing “boyfriend” to “partner” – it’s
providing room for the wide diversity of experiences and identities young
people hold, designing curriculum from the ground up with LGBTQIA+
stakeholders, and demanding more equitable systems. In this webinar panel,
participants will learn why inclusive sex education is necessary, how the
policies across the U.S. and in Texas restrict effective sex education, and
the health impacts of these restrictions. Participants will leave with
resources and best practices to improve sex education for LGBTQIA+
students, including affirming language, inclusive practices, and additional
resources for reproductive and sexual health education that can support all
students as they seek healthy, happy lives.

JULY WEBINAR:
Pronouns, Packers, and Passing:
A Deep Dive into Serving Trans Youth
July 14, 10-11 am CST
Transgender youth often find themselves having to explain “Transgender
101” topics to service providers in a variety of settings: education,
healthcare, mental health, social services, etc. This constant education
regarding gender identity takes a toll on transgender youth. It is
frustrating to seek help from someone, only to spend much of your time
providing an (unpaid) educational service. This training will go beyond the
basics of gender identity to discuss pronouns, misgendering, transitions,
mental health, transgender youth vocabulary, and the
macro/micro-aggressions trans folks experience in education, healthcare,
and social service settings.
