1/3 Read before presenting Notes for Facilitators • These topics are sensitive to some people and the way you facilitate these presentations is important. Please ensure you are hosting these topics in a safe and considerate environment. • Remember to touch on confidentiality, and address the Duty to Report. It is important for those participating to feel this is a safe space, and be aware of what that entails. • The Children and Family Services Act, states that everyone has a duty to report a child that is in need of help. Facilitators have a duty to report if there is a belief that child is being (or has been) neglected or abused (sexually, physically or emotionally). A child is considered anyone 19 and under if the abuser is a family member, and 16 and under if the abuser is a non-family member.

3/3 Notes for Facilitators • Not everyone is binary and/or their gender expression may not match with the stereotypical pronouns you think to use. Ensure you are being respectful of everyones pronouns, it’s better to ask than to guess incorrectly. • Broadly define relationships by refraining from binary and heteronormative language and examples. • Remember that gender identity and gender expression are different from sexual orientation. • Some topics may bring back trauma, it may help to have 2 presenters so one can check-in on people who need to leave the room. • A content warning example can be seen below: • “Some topics touched on in this presentation can bring trauma back to the surface. If you feel like you need to leave the area or need a break please just step out. ”
