💛 Dating 101: Learn, Connect, and Grow

Looking for a safe, welcoming space to talk about relationships, communication, and understanding yourself? Dating 101 is a supportive, judgement-free class where participants can build confidence, ask questions, and explore what healthy relationships look like—friendships, work relationships, and romantic ones.

Each week, participants learn about topics like body awareness, boundaries, gender identity, consent, attraction, self-advocacy, and more. Our facilitator, Jade Andrews, uses the ElevateUs curriculum, a trusted sexual education program created specifically for people with developmental disabilities.​​

This program uses the ElevateUs Curriculum, a sexual education resource designed to be accessible and relevant for a wide range of learning styles and needs.

​

🧠 What to Expect:
  • Honest, respectful, and age-appropriate discussions

  • Opportunities to ask questions in a judgment-free space

  • A chance to build confidence in your values and decision-making

  • A supportive group environment that fosters reflection and connection
