Expanding "The Talk": Becoming an Askable Adult
Dinner Discussion & Facilitated Conversation
Thursday, January 16th, 2020, Twinfield Library, 6-8pm
For the youth in our lives today, the development of healthy sexuality and healthy relationships requires more than just "The Talk." Askable Adults are approachable, authentic sources of support who make space for the young people in their lives to come to them with any question.
Parents, teachers, mentors, and all youth allies are invited to join Jan Lloyd and Lucy Schmid of the Sexual Assault Crisis team of Washington County in collaboration with Twinfield Together Mentoring program for dinner and a facilitated discussion to explore questions such as:
How do we listen empathetically and respond with respect?
How do we hold our own values, stories, and biases with awareness?
How can we navigate our own boundaries while being present with another person's process?
No matter our level of confidence and finesse in creating open dialogue channels with youth, there is much we can learn from one another! Bring your experiences and scenarios to the table--successful conversations, moments that caught you off guard, topics about which you seek to develop your knowledge or skill.
RSVP appreciated (but not required) so we can plan for adequate food
