Navigating the Nuances of Consent Workshop

Consent is a deeply nuanced and complex topic. In this interactive workshop, participants will develop the knowledge and skills needed to navigate and discuss consent in their professional roles.

Workshops are co-facilitated by our training team and a counsellor advocate. The workshop emphasises active participation and draws on CASA House’s intersectional feminist and trauma-informed frameworks. Through this approach, participants will:

• Discuss consent in the context of consensual sex and sexual violence
• Examine historical, social, and legal perspectives of consent
• Explore the ways gender and pornography shape understanding and access to consent
• Gain a deeper understanding of sexual expression, oppression, and the role of intersectionality and privilege in accessing consent
• Acquire practical tools and frameworks for discussing and navigating consent in real-world situations
