SUPPORTING PUBERTY AND ADOLESCENCE

Workshop for parents and carers of people with intellectual disability.

Topics covered include:

• Public and private concepts
• Body changes
• Hygiene
• Healthy relationships
• Menstrual management

These workshops are brought to you by the South Australian Council on Intellectual Disability (SACID). Under license from Sexuality Education Counselling and Consultancy Agency (SECCA); a sexuality and disability agency based in Perth, who first created the workshops.
