WORKSHOPS, TRAININGS, & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
EDSE-created and EDSE-endorsed workshops, trainings, and professional development events provide education, research, perspective, and best practices related to some of the most talked-about and culturally relevant topics today. Unlike most other education organizations, EDSE ensures content centers justice, prioritizes critical thinking, and involves compassionate self-reflection in order to ensure attendees of all experience levels leave with an expanded mind, renewed curiosity, and invaluable confidence in their understanding of the subject matter. Each program is held online and provides CEs and training hours that can be used to fulfill licensure, renewal, and certification requirements.

Online workshop
Sarah Casper of Comprehensive Consent and EDSE Lead Educator Anne Hodder-Shipp have teamed up for the first time to offer a brand-new workshop for clinicians, educators, and anyone who teaches or talks about consent!
Teaching consent can be challenging, with traditional approaches often emphasizing legal definitions while inadequately addressing the gray areas that students inevitably ask about. Creating space for these deeper conversations isn’t easy, but educators Anne and Sarah are here to help you learn how.
True consent literacy starts internally, with awareness of and familiarity with our body sensations, emotions, and instincts. Rather than centering external behaviors, intellectualization, and yes/no, give/get binaries, Consent Beyond Binaries’ mind/body approach will help you move beyond insufficient explanations and rigid scripts, and toward consent education that truly connects.
Together, we will:
Examine the many meanings and associations of consent beyond legal and political
Build confidence around teaching consent beyond yes vs. no, give vs. get, and innocent vs. guilty binaries
Unpack our personal and professional baggage about consent so that we can more easily talk about it
Challenge common understandings and teachings of consent using a thoughtfully critical lens
Practice navigating real-life classroom scenarios to build comfort, skill, and consistency
Unlearn unhelpful, unrealistic representations of consent and how to recognize them in curricula
Identify solutions for challenges, conflicts, and misunderstandings that commonly come up in classrooms
Make space for nuance, discomfort, and ambiguity
This workshop will not:
Review legal definitions of consent, age of consent laws, “capacity to consent,” and similar models (we’re not lawyers)
Provide a pre-made, one-size-fits-all way to teach consent (that doesn’t exist)
Show you how to teach consent “the right way” (that’s not a thing)
Use reductive clichés like “consent is sexy,” “no means no,” “yes means yes,” or “if it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no” (not as helpful as they seem)
Assume consent is simple, easy, fun, enthusiastic, or exclusively verbal (inadequate and ableist)
Center statistics or use them as teaching tools (unhelpful and unreliable)
Uphold the carceral system and punitive models of “justice” (racist, classist, and ineffective)
Teach you how to help survivors and advocate for restorative justice (that’s a different workshop!)
About our tiered pricing:
Full Price - This is the cost and value of the workshop. Select this if the cost will not prevent you from meeting your housing, food, transportation, childcare, and other basic needs, even though it might mean you have to temporarily cut back on some non-essential spending. If a company or non-profit is funding your attendance, you must pay the Full Price.
Equity Price - Select this if paying the Full Price would mean your basic monthly needs, like housing, food, transportation, or childcare, would not be met or that your financial stability would be put at risk. If you choose this option but can genuinely afford the Full Price, you are taking this option away from someone who genuinely needs it. You are not eligible for this price if a company or non-profit is funding your attendance.
Accessibility Price - Select this rate if you are unemployed or underemployed, on disability or government assistance, or struggle to make ends meet, and paying the Community Price would prevent you from meeting your housing, food, transportation, childcare, and other basic needs month to month. This is available only to people experiencing financial hardship who, without it, would not have the means to attend. If you choose this option but can genuinely afford the Full or Community prices, you are taking this option away from someone who genuinely needs it. You are not eligible for this price if a company or non-profit is funding your attendance.

4 AASECT CEs + 4 EDSE CEs
Online workshop
Step into an immersive, interactive workshop designed for therapists, educators, coaches, and care providers who are ready to deepen their understanding of sex work using a decolonized and client-centered lens. Co-facilitated by Lilithfoxx, CSE, (she/her) and Cady Moore, MPH, CSE, (she/her), this professional development event offers expansive, real-world approaches to supporting sex-working clients with integrity, intention, and care. This is a one-of-a-kind professional development workshop designed for the EDSE community in collaboration with EDSE lead educator Anne Hodder-Shipp, CSE.
This course invites you to explore, examine, and unlearn the biases and judgments that are common in clinical and sexuality spaces while learning new, more effective tools you can use in your work right away. Our final hour together will be dedicated exclusively to practicing how to apply these tools and concepts in professional environments, so you will leave not only with new knowledge and skills, but also with confidence for how to use them in “real life.”
Together, we will:
Build and practice skills for offering affirming, non-judgmental, and practical support to sex-working clients and colleagues.
Challenge outdated narratives, inaccurate assumptions, and harmful attitudes about sex work and sex workers and learn what’s actually true.
Examine the historical and systemic roots of criminalization and better understand the importance of decriminalization.
Unpack stigma, shame, and stereotypes while better understanding how whorephobia and the whorearchy show up in sexuality spaces.
Learn how to show up and support sex workers in ways that are unconventional, grounded, and transformative.
and more!
Using a blend of reflective activities, storytelling, role-play, and resource-sharing, you will leave with a how-to toolkit that goes beyond theory —equipping you to be an even more effective, expansive, impactful sexuality professional. This is not your average CEU workshop. This is a call to unlearn, listen deeper, and hold space like you mean it!
