Abstract: |
Presentations in classrooms are just one part of the Human Sexuality Program at the Toronto Board of Education. Other educational work includes: professional development for teachers at both the primary and secondary levels workshops and presentations for individuals who provide services to youth acting as a resource for anyone connected with the Board who is interested in lesbian, gay, and bisexual issues and consulting with other school boards or organizations. We also provide counselling to students, teachers, and parents who are lesbian, gay or bisexual. We offer individual and couple counselling, as well as two support groups: one for students, and one for employees of the board of education. We have also run groups for children whose parents are lesbian or gay.Issues: |
