Course Description

This course provides an introduction to sexual consent, focusing on what you need to know when working with clients in clinical practice.

Topics addressed include: Sexual communication, the #MeToo movement, the legality of consent in Canada, consent frameworks, drug and alcohol implications for sexual consent, intro to BDSM and consent, ideas for exploring consent with clients, and the clinical considerations associated with sexual consent. Explore and critically examine your own biases, assumptions, and personal reactions to communicating consent.
