Consent, Healthy Relationships & Sexting Workshop
With the rates of sexual assault on the rise in Canada, it is imperative that youth recognize how to identify an unhealthy relationship, boundaries, and where they can go for help. How can we create a community culture that understands and embraces consent? We must first help our youth understand the legal frameworks surrounding consent, who can and cannot consent, and most importantly how to create an action plan for clearly saying "Yes" or "No".
Through interactive real-life scenarios, this workshop helps youth decipher if sexual activities are consensual and how to ask for and respond to consent. Technology today has changed the rules of relationships, therefore the challenges and consequences surrounding sexting and consent will be discussed as well. This workshop moves beyond information sharing, and provides participants with the concrete strategies required to make healthy and informed relationship decisions.
.MY ONLINE!
Today, the primary mode of communication for children and youth is digital-through photos, posts, blogs, and chat. MY ONLINE! takes online safety to another level by building awareness and arming youth with proven strategies and resources to defend themselves against the hidden risks associated with daily online interactions. MY ONLINE! discusses who can see your information, what to/not to share, positive decision making, and overall social media risks with the most popular apps. Youth will walk away with the resources and confidence to become a leader for digital change.
.Commit to Kids Program
The Commit to Kids Program, developed by The Canadian Centre for Child Protection, increases the strengths of your Institution to protect children from sexual abuse. This is achieved through: increased awareness, teaching faculty and volunteers the difference between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour, and providing faculty and volunteers with specific strategies on how to reduce the risk of abuse.
Commit to Kids provides policies, strategies, and a step-by-step plan for reducing the risk of child sexual abuse, encouraging organizations to take an active, participatory role in protecting children in their care.

Taking the Glamour out of “The Game”: Human Trafficking Awareness for Youth
In light of our increased awareness about the risks children and youth in our region are facing when it comes to recruitment for sexual exploitation, it is key to ensure youth themselves are aware of the signs and indicators of human trafficking, as well as the recruitment process. These presentations will discuss human trafficking for sexual exploitation, the reality of “the game”, break down clear signs that a youth or someone they know may be at risk, and finally- how to report!
