Understanding Consent: Sarah Casper's Framework for Healthy Relationships
No one makes any of us feel any way...We are in charge of our own feelings and it's our responsibility to communicate them clearly and respectfully.
How do you teach kids and teens about consent in a way that sticks? Sarah Casper, the founder of Comprehensive Consent, sits down with Krystine Grace on the RAW podcast to share her innovative approach. With a focus on social-emotional learning, Sarah equips young people with the skills they need to navigate intimate encounters and build healthy relationships.
She uses experiential exercises to help them understand body autonomy and practice saying 'no' when the stakes are low, so they're ready when the stakes are high. From Acro Yoga's role in inspiring her methods to her 'who, what, where, when, and how' framework, Sarah's insights are both practical and profound. The episode also tackles heavy topics like sexual assault and racism, offering a compassionate look at how these issues intersect with consent.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or just someone interested in fostering better communication, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and thought-provoking ideas.
