SUMMARY:Tools for Tweens & Teens 11-13 years - Tell your Daughters
DESCRIPTION:In this free workshop your daughter will learn that her body is unique\, it is her own\, and it is powerful. This will lay the foundations for a healthy and loving attitude towards both her own body and her emerging sexuality.  This is such a beautiful and powerful day for your daughters\, the information presented will be foundational and also empowering\, setting them up for some healthy ways of feeling\, thinking and behaving in their future intimate relationships.\n\nBody Positivity: Media Myths & Diversity\nBody Autonomy: Consent & Communication\nEmpowered Anatomy: Knowledge & Self Connection\n\n\nPlease Note: \n\nThe workshop is for all those identifying as daughters aged 11-13 years.\nThis is not an explicit workshop about sex\, but it will lay important foundations for healthy sexual relating in the future.\nThe information will be delivered in a fun\, palatable\, age appropriate and gentle way.\nThe workshop will be structured around “practical tools” for your daughter to use (mindset\, communication\, emotional regulation).\nThe workshop will be phone-free (Natalie will have a basket where she collects and store devices at the beginning and they can check their phones in the break if they need to).\n\nThere will be three parts: \n\nMindset tools – we will look at the effects of the media on how we feel\, and we will begin to teach critical thinking (aka Body positivity\, media myths and diversity) This is important in this day and age of increased social media everything we see can be manipulated digitally and consequently that which isn’t normal becomes normalised.\nCommunication tools – we will look at lots of ways to say “No” in tricky (non- sexual) situations with your friends and family (aka Body autonomy\, consent and communication). This is important because it is one thing knowing that something doesn’t feel right\, yet it is a whole nother thing having the tools to know what to say in response.\nEmbodiment tools – we will look at the proper female anatomy and the role our biology/nervous system has with regards to our emotions and feeling safe in our body\, and trusting its signals (aka Empowered anatomy\, pleasure and self connection). This is important because when your daughter has knowledge of\, and confidence in\, her own body she knows that she is the source of her own power and she is less likely to outsource it to others.\n\nThere will be an opportunity for anonymous Q&A at the end of the workshop. If any concerns arise\, I will follow up with you in a reflection email sent to all parents. \n(The workshop focuses on female born bodies) \nParent/caregiver pre-workshop evening – Wednesday\, 11 March November 6pm-7pm \nIn the parent/caregiver evening Natalie briefly covers the material to be presented to the children during the workshop. She will answer any of your questions\, and share a stack of resources with you\, including some of her collection of books that may be helpful for you and your child. \nNot only is it so important (life changingly important) to teach our kids the things they need to know BEFORE they need to know them\, but also we need to give them opportunities to practice the tools. It is Natalie’s intention that these workshops are a safe and fun space to practice and become familiar with the words and tools they can use when and if they need to. \nAbout the Presenter \nNatalie Stockell is an educator\, mum of two\, and advocate for positive\, inclusive sex education. She founded Tell Your Daughters to address the gaps she saw in school-based sex ed and now delivers engaging\, age-appropriate workshops for tweens\, teens\, and their parents. With a Master’s in Psychology and a calm\, compassionate presence\, Natalie combines evidence-based knowledge with deep empathy to support young people as they navigate consent\, relationships\, and online life. \nAlongside her work with Tell Your Daughters\, Natalie works with Women’s Health and Equality Queensland (WHEQ)\, where she co-designs and facilitates sex education workshops and resources for women\, girls\, and gender-diverse people. Her work at WHEQ also spans broader health promotion initiatives focused on mental health\, respectful relationships\, and gender equality. \nWhat to tell your Daughter \nThis isn’t specifically sex ed\, and telling any tween/teen they are going to a sex ed workshop is going to feel awkward for them. So simply telling your child they are going to a “Tools for teens” workshop is enough. If they want more information it is up to you what you tell them\, you could say there will be some talk about the messages from the media\, and also how to deal with sticky conversations with your friends\, that type of thing. They might feel more comfortable going with a friend so please let any other parent/caregiver of your daughter’s friends know about this workshop date. \nNatalie’s primary goals for the workshop are that the girls have fun\, and they feel comfortable with her and the content. Her secondary goals are that they leave feeling like their voice matters\, their ‘No” is valid\, and they know their body is both normal and powerful. \nQuestions? \nIf you have any questions please contact Susan\, Coordinator Community Development at Pomona & District Community House on 07 5485 2427 or admin@pomonacommunityhouse.org.au. \nThanks to our Funders \nNeighbourhood Centres Qld – Queensland Women and Girls’ Health Promotion Community Seed Funding. \nNeighbourhood Centres Qld is the peak body for Neighbourhood Centres in Queensland. Our sector represents the largest community-led infrastructure in Qld.

SUMMARY:Tools for Teens 14-16 years - Tell your Daughters
DESCRIPTION:In this free workshop your daughter will learn all about healthy relating – both relating to herself\, her emerging sexual identity\, and relating to others – the people she may feel attracted to or attraction from. \n\nEmpowered Relating: Consent & Communication\nSafe Relating: Contraception & Connection\nHealthy Relating: Red Flags & Green Flags\n\nPlease Note: \n\nThe workshop is for all those identifying as daughters aged 14-16 years.\nThis workshop will contain specific information about sexual activity\, sexual identity and sexual relating.\nThe information will be delivered in a fun\, age appropriate\, palatable\, and gentle way.\nThe workshop will be structured around “practical tools” for your daughter to use (mindset\, communication\, emotional regulation).\nThe workshop will be phone-free (Natalie will have a basket where she collects and store devices at the beginning and they can check their phones in the break if they need to).\n\nThere will be three parts: \n\nCommunication tools – we will look at what consent really means when it comes to sexual situations and how to confidently and cringe-free advocate for safe sex (aka Healthy relating\, consent and communication) This is important because while most teens today have a basic understanding of consent they also need opportunities to practice communicating it in a safe environment.\nEmbodiment tools – we will cover sexual anatomy and how to keep sex safe with regards to both contraception and also feeling safe in our body\, and trusting it’s signals (aka Safe relating\, contraception and connection) This is important because when your daughter has knowledge of\, and confidence in\, her own body she knows that she is the source of her own power and she is less likely to outsource it to others.\nRelationship tools – we will look at relationship red flags and green flags\, and cover strategies for dealing with red flags across both digital and in-person relating (Aka Healthy relating – red flags and green flags) This is important because when we teach our daughters to recognize potential warning signs in relationships they are able make informed decisions about their well-being and safety.\n\nThere will be an opportunity for anonymous Q&A at the end. If anything of concern comes up during the workshop Natalie will feedback to you afterwards in my reflection email to all parents. \n(The workshop focuses on female born bodies) \nParent/caregiver pre-workshop evening – Wednesday\, 11 March 7pm-8pm \nIn the parent/caregiver evening Natalie briefly covers the material to be presented to the children during the workshop.
