keynotes and lectures

I have been invited speaker at Australian, US, and European conferences on topics of sexuality education, sexuality and diversity, parenting, and translating research into practice. Past presentations include:

• Right from the Start: Empowering Children from Kinder-10 through Sexuality Education.

• Approaching the Issues of Online Pornography with Children

• Sexual Ethics: A Comprehensive Inclusive Approach to Sexuality Education for Young People

Professional learning

I offer professional learning on talking about sex with children and young people. I place a high value on evidence-based training that covers research updates on child and adolescent sexuality, curriculum guidelines, safety, tricky topics, skills development and how-to-teach RSE, including:

• How to teach The Practical Guide to Love, Sex and Relationships from Years 7 to 10’

• Catching On Early (revised!) – modern primary school sexuality education’

Parent Talks

Parents remain the most important educators of their children about bodies, sex and safe relationships. Jenny's style is easy going, down-to-earth and respectful of people's diverse values and life experience. Parent education sessions remain an invaluable way of providing discussion and advice on raising ‘sexually healthy’ and relationship-ready kids.  

School leader seminars

It is no accident that research conducted with schools has identified the same needs as those students identify – they require more support and resources to deal with complex issues like sexual consent, image-sharing and relationships. Jenny can provide seminars for principal associations and other school leader gatherings. The seminars provide an evidence-based overview of the issues including relevant Victorian policy and curriculum guidelines. She has advised in State, Independent, Muslim and Catholic settings.
