This workshop provides clear guidelines for answering questions from elementary-aged children and addressing sexuality in a simple, accurate, and reassuring way. Participants will learn how to tailor information to the child’s age, support healthy curiosity, guide behavior, and promote a solid foundation in consent, boundaries, and respect. The goal is to help adults intervene with confidence and consistency in a modern educational context.

Loving Differently: Introduction to Ethical Non-Monogamy (in french)
with Audrey Labelle, Sexologist
March 13, from 12:00 to 12:45
This workshop offers a clear and nuanced introduction to the various models of ethical non-monogamy. It explores the basic principles, essential relational skills (communication, boundaries, managing jealousy), as well as practical considerations for navigating these relationships in a healthy and consensual way. The goal is to equip participants with a better understanding of these dynamics and to help them reflect on what aligns with their values and their relational reality.
Healthy or Toxic Relationships: Learning to Recognize the Signs (in french)
with Megan Lalumière, Special Educator
March 27, from 12:00 to 12:45
Sometimes, we can sense that something is off in a relationship without really knowing how to put it into words. This activity aims to help participants better understand the difference between a healthy and a toxic dynamic, and to learn how to recognize the signals that reveal what is really happening. Together, we will explore how to identify the signs that indicate whether a relationship is right for us, so we can choose connections that truly benefit our well-being.
Surviving and Rebuilding: Facing a Toxic Parent (bilingual chat)
with Oumaima Meddeb, psychotherapist (qualifying)
Avril 10, from 12:00 to 12:45
A workshop to understand the emotional and relational impact of a toxic parent, put words to your experience, and begin a process of healing. Through practical tools and therapeutic exercises, participants will learn to free themselves from guilt, set healthy boundaries, and strengthen their self-esteem in order to regain clarity, inner security, and balance in their relationships.
Fidelity, Jealousy, and Emotional Security: Navigating Sensitive Areas (bilingual chat)
with Laurine Mercéus, Sexologist
April 24, from 12:00 to 12:45
During this small conference, we will explore the nuances of fidelity, jealousy, and emotional security. Through discussion and reflection, we will examine how these emotions influence our romantic relationships, our deeper needs, and our reactions toward one another.
Beyong “Yes”: Understanding Consent in All Its Nuance (in french)
May 8, from 12:00 to 12:45
Consent is a concept we often talk about, yet it can still feel unclear when trying to understand all its nuances. This activity aims to go beyond the simple “yes” to better grasp enthusiasm, clarity, and the gray areas that can influence our interactions—not only in intimacy but in all everyday relationships. Together, we will take the time to demystify what it truly means to give consent and understand, with simplicity and accuracy, all the subtlety it involves.
Reclaiming Your Body: A Journey Towards Self (bilingual chat)
with Laurine Mercéus, Sexologist
May 22, from 12:00 to 12:45
This workshop invites participants on an intimate journey toward reclaiming their body after trauma. We will explore how emotional wounds can leave their mark on the body, disrupt sensations, and shape our perceptions. Gentle approaches to restoring presence, safety, and connection with oneself will be discussed.
