SAR (Sexual Attitude Reassessment): Building Competence

3½ days | Cost: $625 for participant or $575 for existing Opt members

• This program uses the Sexual Attitudes Reassessment (SAR) process and is based on the program developed by the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality.
• Applicants to Opt’s Sexual Health Educator Certification must complete or be registered for a SAR before applying. Completion of Opt’s SAR workshop fulfills this requirement.
• Topics covered include: fantasy, masturbation, LGBTQ+, non-monogomy, sex work, gender, BDSM, disability, and aging.
• Activities involved: using an intensive workshop experience, participants evaluate their own values, beliefs, and attitudes on various sexuality issues.
• Outcomes: by becoming increasingly aware of their perceptions, beliefs, values, and feelings, participants become comfortable with the wide variation of existing sexual attitudes, behaviours, and practices. This comfort is necessary for sexual health professionals, and is also beneficial for individuals striving for personal growth and the development of healthy personal relationships.
• Full-time attendance to all 3 1/2 days is mandatory!
