Let's Talk About Sex & Relationships

FOR TEENS

Sex Ed Online

Beginning January 25, 2022

7:00-8:30pm EST on Zoom

$150CAD for 10 sessions

This is a small group (max 10) of high schoolers that will meet up every 2 weeks to discuss ALL kinds of stuff to do with sex and relationships. We'll cover what is NOT covered in school, and what is most interesting for those in the group. (I'm not going to talk about flavoured lube if no one in the group cares about it, for example).

I gamify tough concepts, host experiential learning sessions, and create a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing. Let's dispel shame and laugh about awkwardness. The more we talk about things that are taboo, and make us uncomfortable, the more easily we learn the skills to move through the discomfort in order to have new kinds of conversations.

Here are some of the things we will cover:

Hormones
Emotional regulation aka how to handle mood swings and emotions
Healthy relationships: how do you know? What can it look like?
Boundaries
Consent
Jealousy
Intersectionality
Toxic masculinity & femininity
How to confront conflicts
How to research --> finding helpful local and online resources
Values
Media Literacy

Group Agreements & Rules

Private details discussed in group stay within the group unless there is an admission of harm
All relationship styles and sexual orientations, all genders are welcome
Take care of yourself: eat, drink, take notes, turn off your camera, step away - whatever you need to feel safe. Though, please let me know in the chat or by email when lines are crossed and I'll do what I can to address the situation.
This group is sex positive, affirming, and open-minded: We are ready to learn new things, choose to stay curious rather than judgmental, are open to the possibilities of difference, and can do hard things (like sit with discomfort).

CONVERSATION SESSIONS:

If you can talk about sex, you can talk about anything. Having a safe place to chat about sex and relationships can lead to some major shifts. Let's dispel shame and increase comfort by sinking in to the juicy stuff that really matters to you.

Think of me as the cool aunt you can talk to about sex: Auntie Julia.

The Initial Session is a good place to start to determine what the client is hoping to discuss and if we are a good fit for one another. This is a 60-90 minute session.

Initial session: $38

1-session package: $ 75

3-session package: $ 205 ($68/session)

5-session package: $ 325 ($65/session)

CONVERSATIONS + HOMEWORK

If you opt for the homework version, I will give exercises and readings to be completed each week, based on our discussion from the week(s) prior. These may be given during the session, or within a couple of days of the session.

3-session package: $ 250 ($83/session)

5-session package: $ 350 ($75/session)

Group Support

Sunday Night Sex Talks

Annual Subscription: $500 (save $100)

Teen Slumber Parties

The Lowdown: Remember pre-COVID times when slumber parties were a thing that we could do? Many adults like myself have fond memories of sleepovers with friends in which we’d stay up for hours talking about all kinds of stuff.

So, here’s a 2-hour virtual safer space for teens to talk about whatever is on their minds in regards to sex and relationships. Scared to talk to the person you like? Think you’re not straight but you’re not sure? Labeled a slut and it's negatively impacting you? Zero interest in being in any kind of relationship? Wait, there’s more than one kind of relationship?! We can cover all of these and so much more. I facilitate the discussion based on participant information gathered ahead of time. After the chat, I will pass along any resources discussed within the Slumber Party.

Friend Group:

4-6 people who know one another ($50CAD/person)

Open Group:

4-6 strangers (I create the group; $60CAD/person)

I offer these two options because sometimes it’s easier to talk to people who have limited background information about you, and other times it’s easier to have the support of people you regularly interact with. It’s your choice! Wearing publicly appropriate clothing is required. Pyjamas are encouraged.

Please note: These slumber parties are a riff off of Leah Carey’s incredible Adult PJ Parties, with her explicit awareness and permission. Parents, I HIGHLY recommend you attend a party. Thanks, Leah!
