I had one older person who
hadn’t had anyone really
go through that with her.
I did it over a couple of sessions. On the second, I used a booklet, that had lots of pictures in it, naked bodies, and she found it hilarious. It made it quite light- hearted and fun. I needed to go back to it another time.
The LD ISVA said that teaching people about giving consent could be difficult.
LD ISVA: People say, ‘yes is yes and no is no’, but in a practical sexual situation, [giving consent]
is very puzzling for people.
The LD ISVA focused on empowering people to say no and to be confident in these decisions.
LD ISVA: If they don’t want to
do something that’s okay, or if they do want to do something that’s okay: reminding people they have choice.
Talking to people about healthy relationships and sex education in an accessible way can be difficult, but the LD ISVA was able to take the time to pace discussions over several sessions and to seek out and share appropriate resources.
