‘6 Must Have Conversations to Have with your Teen'

CVFSA and CASEY ( Community Against Sexual Exploitation of Youth) would like to thank the Comox Valley Drug Strategy Committee for their generous grant which has allowed us to bring Kerri, the facilitator to our community.

Kerri is a knowledgeable, experienced and passionate educator and facilitator. Her primary goal is to make exploring sexual health fun and meaningful, and to alleviate the shame and embarrassment sometimes associated with this topic.

Currently, she runs her own company called Power-Up Workshops specializing in sexual health education for preschool to Grade 12. Her three main areas of focus are sexual abuse prevention, puberty education and gender/sexual orientation advocacy.

This workshop is linked to ‘Stop the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth Awareness’ week March 14th to March 18th.The week recognizes the importance of supporting communities to develop prevention, education, enforcement and intervention strategies to address the sexual exploitation of children and youth.
Fuchsia coloured ribbons will be handed out, which symbolize efforts in preventing the sexual exploitation of children and youth because it is a combination of red, for red light districts and purple, the provincial colour for violence prevention.
CASEY membership is composed of the LINC, Wachiay Friendship Centre, John Howard Society of North Island, Comox Valley Family Services Association and CV Transition Society.
