We offer a series of live, online workshops, typically 90-minutes long, to explore a wide range of topics related to sexuality and developmental disabilities. Our topics are determined by you and what you tell us you are interested in or want to learn more about.
We use Zoom to deliver the workshops. There will be an opportunity for questions and live engagement with the facilitator/s.
