There are many different aspects to cultural competency when discussing sexual health education. These resources will continue to center 2SLGBTQ+ sexual health needs, and will spotlight the nuances where race, culture, and ethnicity intersects. Here you will find resources geared to languages other than English, affirming resources for POC communities, and resources to assist in white allyship for equitable, inclusive, and accessible sexual health education for everyone in the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
POC EMPOWERMENT RESOURCES
We know that it can be difficult to find resources and information around sexual health education that affirms non-white experiences. This section is a dedicated, affirming space where racial and/or ethnic identities can intersect and be validated within 2SLGBTQ+ identities.

WHITE ALLYSHIP RESOURCES
Many white people were not given the opportunity to understand the importance of resources and services that take into account the experiences and needs of people of color. This page is an opportunity to learn more about POC needs as well as how to best show up for equitable and accessible sexual health education for all.
