SIECCAN is a not-for-profit organization that promotes sexual health of Canadians. We are making resources to help service providers promote sexual health with Autistic youth and disabled youth (with physical disabilities). This project is funded by Health Canada.
We are working with Wisdom2Action to run focus groups. We want to learn from (1) Autistic and neurodivergent youth, as well as (2) disabled youth (physical disabilities) about their dating and relationship experiences and also, what sexual health information they want to know more about. We will use this information to make sexual health promotion resources for service providers who work with Autistic and/or disabled youth.
Below are the focus group sessions:
Tues. Sept. 20 at 7pm ET:
Open session for disabled youth (physical disabilities)
Wed. Sept. 21 at 7pm ET:
Session for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) disabled youth (physical disabilities)
Thurs. Sept. 22 at 7pm ET:
Open session for Autistic and neurodivergent youth
Fri. Sept. 23 at 7pm ET:
