SERVICE DETAILS
Alongside our events, get2gether has developed and runs courses for our members. These courses have been created in direct response to what our members have told us they need. They are based around topics that can be difficult to talk about and are often forgotten about for adults with disabilities.
The courses use a facilitative approach. Learning happens through guided exploration of subjects. We create space for reflection and conversation so that participants can learn from and support each other. Doing it this way means that as well as learning about the topic, participants also build skills such as confidence, self-reflection and an understanding of how to build supportive friendships. Our aim is that these skills will continue to help participants with their personal development even after the course has finished.
get2gether currently runs 2 courses which are: Live Your Life and Let’s Talk About Sex.
Let’s Talk About Sex...
Wanna talk about sex? We do!
It’s been 2 YEARS of having conversations around everything from masturbation, pleasure, boundaries, consent, touch and initiating conversations with people in your life about your access to sex and sexual identity.
Sex and sexual expression are a normal part of adult life, but speaking about it can often feel awkward and uncomfortable. Our members were telling us that they wanted to know more about sex and everything around it but didn’t know who to ask.
We’ve been chatting to Crew2000 and Enhance the UK, and in response to this, have developed get2gether’s Let’s Talk About Sex sessions and courses. For our drop-in sessions, we regularly bring in guest speakers and have previously covered topics such as sex toys, online dating, flirting and talking to support staff about sex.
Will you be joining us to speak about sex? We’re also available to come chat to you and your organisations, please direct any questions to rosy@get2gether.org.uk!
If you have any ideas for other courses please get in touch with Clare.
