Respect Yourself for Men
Press here for a printable flyer about
this project
FNRC believes that people with disabilities need
basic information about their bodies and their sexuality. Ignorance does not
protect consumers; it leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
The Respect
Yourself series is a 9-week course that teaches adults with
disabilities about healthy relationships and sexuality.
Each week the instructor talks about a
different topic, and uses movies, class exercises, role-plays,
models and slides to show the class how to use this information in
their own lives.
Respect Yourself is a great tool for learning about: self-esteem;
privacy and boundaries; how to take care of your body; medical
exams; abstinence and birth control; pregnancy and parenting; and
abuse prevention.
This information is a great tool for
preventing abuse!
The instructors recommend taking the
Me and You series before
taking
Respect Yourself.
The
Respect Yourself series
has one class for men and a separate one for women.
The series can be held at sites such as
self-advocacy groups, care homes, day programs and work centers.
They also offer community series in
Redding and Chico that are open to anyone in the community with a
disability.
The Respect Yourself program can travel to any of the 9 counties served by Far Northern
Regional Center.
