                               Presents:

                      Sexual Attitude Reassessment
                                 (SAR)
                           A Weekend Workshop

                    November 13-15, 2003, Calgary AB

What SAR is, and reasons for attending:
SAR provides an opportunity to explore and understand your own beliefs,
attitudes, values and biases within the realm of sex and sexuality.
This self-exploration and self-understanding facilitates comfort that
ultimately fosters improved communication skills, both on a professional
and a personal level.

By becoming increasingly aware of your perceptions, beliefs, and
feelings, you will become increasingly comfortable with the wide
variation of existing sexual attitudes, behaviours, practices, and even
sub-cultures.  This comfort is necessary for any sexual health
professional, and is also beneficial for individuals striving for
personal growth and the development of healthy personal relationships.

During the SAR, you will examine sexuality and sexual attitudes from
numerous perspectives using a variety of images.  The nature of SAR
requires that some of the media be explicit.  The use of explicit media
is necessary for increasing self-awareness and personal comfort with the
many areas of sex and sexuality.   In addition to the personal growth,
the event involves small group discussions during which you will be
challenged with the opportunity to practice your professional or
interpersonal skills.

Topics:
§ Sex and the disabled
§ Sex and the elderly
§ Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgendered Lifestyles
§ Masturbation
§ Sexuality and persons living with HIV/AIDS

The SAR will be led by:
Brian Parker Ed.D., Ph.D.
Penny Cuddy R.N., B.Sc.N. AASECT

Target Audience:  These SARs are open to:
§ Professionals in the field of sexual and reproductive health
§ Sexual Health Educators
§ Anyone interested in challenging their understanding of sexuality
*Due to the nature of the event, all participants must be at least 18
years of age to attend.
