“This training is interactive, informative and critical for anyone who works with youth to understand consent. From the AI simulations, to the exercises practicing how to accept the word “no”, the content is so valuable. Creating a culture of consent starts at a young age and continues through adulthood. As a sexual assault prevention educator and facilitator, I have been able to incorporate the lessons into classes with youth, parents, therapists and school personnel. Erica teaches from her own knowledge and experiences, is open to learning and growing with class members and brings in other experts to expand the level of learning for participants. I highly recommend this course!“
-Karen Udall, MS, Sexual Assault Prevention Educator.
““As a Violence Prevention educator, I would highly recommend this course. The course covers the foundations of effective facilitation as well as relevant and creative ways to teach consent and boundaries. The course is interactive and allowed me to connect with other amazing professionals across the US and Canada. Before this course, I was searching for engaging and accessible methods to talk about consent and boundaries with young people. The activities and discussion questions in Creating Consent Culture are easy to facilitate yet invoke deep conversation around the practice of setting and respecting boundaries.”
-Monica Reyna, Violence Prevention Coordinator, participant of Fall Certification Course, 2022
“Creating Consent Culture, the course, was an experience I am truly grateful for. I love all of the nuances of everyday life and real internal experiences that it put in the forefront in such a humanizing and brave way. It was as gentle as it was bold, which reflects the kind of leader and facilitator I want to be. I love that Erica is genuinely open to feedback and learning while also being strong in her WHY. My coursemates were individuals that I enjoyed learning alongside. I feel supported by Erica as I prepare to go out to the world and hold workshops for others. As someone who has been violated, it played a really unique role in this chapter of my healing journey and pointed a whole new beam of hope that others will be exposed to the opportunity to lean into the value of productive, empathetic, discomfort so that we can all grow toward a more humane society.”
