💛 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
