Partner with SHADE

Sexual Health and Disability Education (SHADE) partners with schools, day programs, and disability service providers to offer FREE classes about healthy bodies, healthy boundaries, and healthy relationships. SHADE group classes teach skills in a fun, interactive, and social setting. Participants will learn through discussion, hands-on activities, games, role-play, and visual aids. SHADE groups typically meet once per week for 15 weeks, although groups can be modified to best suit participant needs.
