Talking about Sex:  Pathways to Healthy Sexual Behaviors and Relationships

People in our field talk about sex every day, but we never fully discuss with our clients or each other the basic elements of healthy sexual development or a healthy sexual relationship. This presentation will talk about these elements that serveas the foundation for a healthier and safer community. Based on her experiences with congregations and clergy from more than fifty denominations,  Reverend Haffner will provide examples of how a faith community can begin to clarify healthy boundaries and use that experience to work with adults, adolescents or children to prevent sexual abuse, harassment, and misconduct. She will also discuss how parents can raise sexually healthy children and teenagers.  Rather than learning what not to do, Haffner focuses on the critical importance of sexual health, including love, intimacy, pleasure, and right relationships.

The Reverend Dr. Debra W. Haffner is the co-founder and executive director of the Religious Institute, a multi-faith, nonprofit organization dedicated to sexual health, education and justice in America's faith communities and society. Rev. Haffner was the CEO of SIECUS, the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, and the author of numerous books including:  From Diapers to Dating: A Parent’s Guide to Raising Sexually Healthy Children; andBeyond the Big Talk: Every Parent’s Guide to Raising Sexually Healthy Teens. Reverend Haffner’s ground-breaking workhas been honored by numerous universities and national organizations.
