Education and Training

With over 25 years of experience, Fact Forward is nationally recognized in reproductive health training for individuals and organizations. We help educate those who work with young adults on over 20 different reproductive health topics with the goal of arming young people with the knowledge they need to access better reproductive healthcare and to make safer, healthier choices.

New Online Workshops

Askable Adult

Talking to teens about sex can be awkward. We can help with unexpected, unbiased advice that will do more than just enhance your communication skills. We’ll actually show you how to verbally guide young people toward making good decisions for themselves. Learn the techniques that will have the biggest impact and how to discuss sensitive information in an appropriate way.

Reproductive Health 101

Reinforce the basics and be more confident in your work as a youth-serving professional. This class covers the core concepts of adolescent reproductive health. You’ll learn about reproductive anatomy and physiology, adolescent growth and development, HIV/STIs, and contraceptive technology. You’ll also learn how to teach comprehensive sexuality education that meet the standards set forth by the Comprehensive Health Education Act (CHEA).

Unconscious Bias

Research shows that unconscious bias can be a huge hurdle for marginalized youth who need essential reproductive health services. Awareness is the first step to addressing this inequality. This interactive workshop helps educate youth-serving professionals about biases based on race, ethnicity, gender, and socio-economic status that contribute to disparities in health outcomes.
