Free Webinar: Sexuality Education in Texas Schools - Change is Possible!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The quality and content of comprehensive sex ed can vary greatly depending on the
state, district, school and even teacher. During this webinar, we'll explore how
three Texas communities - Austin, Odessa, and San Antonio - worked to challenge
the status quo and implement evidence-informed sexuality education programs in
their respective districts. Topics covered will include grassroots advocacy, working
with SHACs, and dealing with the vocal opposition in an effective manner. One hour
of continuing education will be offered for Social Work, Licensed Professional Counselor,
and Continuing Professional Education. Click here to register. [[link removed]]
