Let's Talk About

Sex(ual Health Month), Baby!

September marks the annual World Sexual Health Month, an awareness campaign focused on promoting sexual health and well-being for individuals across the globe.  

We know there is so much to cover in your sexual health lesson plans or clinical visits – as well as barriers to doing the work! We also recognize that there are many topics crucial to young people’s sexual development that are either challenging to teach about or not covered in your approved curricula. Here at ETR, our team of researchers, trainers, and designers is dedicated to ensuring young people have equitable access to inclusive, science-based health information—and that you have the tools you need to provide those services and education. 

Check out the following resources to help you provide affirming and comprehensive sexual health services and education for young people in your community—this Sexual Health Month and beyond! 

— The ETR Team

PS: Be sure to check out the complete 3-in-30 webinar library for a variety of free sexual health-focused webinars to further your professional development, such as “Queering Sex Ed” and “Talking Porn Literacy in Sex Ed.”  

Apply Now! YTH Comprehensive Sexuality Education Innovation Challenge

Calling all innovators, inventors, designers, and masterminds! ETR is launching a global challenge for youth ages 18 – 29 to spark the next great digital innovation to increase access to comprehensive sexuality education.   

While many young people receive some form of sexuality education in school, evidence suggests that it is often lacking. As we work towards strengthening sexuality education, new media and technology provide additional opportunities to ensure access to information and linkages to resources where young people live, learn, work and play.

The winner will receive $4,000 USD in seed funding to bring their idea into reality, plus support and mentorship from the YTH Live Global team at ETR!  Read more here about eligibility criteria and how to submit your ideas by September 23rd. Have questions? You can reach the team at ythlive@etr.org.
