FAQs:

 Where and when is this training held? How do I sign up?

Your local Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa Community Health Promoter will deliver this training at your centre or premises.  Please click ‘register your interest’ to connect with your local Community Health Promoter. Once you send your request, you will receive an automated email containing a form that asks you for more information.  We recommend that you contact us as far in advance as possible to request training due to our capacity. 

Does this training have to be 3-hours long?

We recommend that staff receive the 3-hours of training so that they feel confident and capable of delivering quality relationships and sexuality education to their students.  In most circumstances, we can work with your school to find a solution that suits your needs, for example, delivering the training over multiple days, or tailoring it other ways.

Who should attend this training?

We encourage a whole-school approach wherever possible. This means that all teaching staff (including leadership) receive this training.  We find that teachers that aren’t delivering Navigating the Journey still benefit from this training, as it covers how to answer curious questions, supports them to explore and clarify their own values, and builds their awareness of what their students are learning about.
