Oak Hill’s Center for Relationship & Sexuality Education (CRSE) offers online opportunities for professional development and increased awareness of widespread sexual abuse and other related issues experienced by the IDD community, as well as promotion of healthy relationships. These learning seminars can expand the meaningful implementation of our curriculum and workbooks for disability professionals, clinicians, management, and direct care staff.
Webinars are presented in multiple formats, either with a live presenter or through a pre-recorded option. Both offer exceptional benefits to attendees and the way you choose to interact with this content is entirely up to the unique needs of your group. If you like what you see but still require some personalization, we are happy to try to accommodate.
*Our focus is preventive education and advocacy. We do not have intervention services at this time.*
