Need a physical? An STI test? Pregnant? Looking for birth control options? Need to talk to a counsellor? Have questions about sex or sexuality? Are you a young man with specific health questions? A young parent, or parent-to-be, looking for support? We have health services created especially for youth ages 13-29!
  For your reproductive and sexual health, we offer peer education on birth control, parenting options, STI testing and lots more for women throughout their reproductive years. We provide workshops on healthy sexuality issues, and, coming soon, new services for women who have sex with women.
  We have health services that are LGBTQ-positive, an anti-homophobia education program called T.E.A.C.H., and, coming soon, new services for women who have sex with women.
  We can make accessing services easier for you! We offer translation for our health services, we hold workshops in a number of languages, and we continue to create partnerships around the city to meet your needs.

Welcome to the Training Centre!

Planned Parenthood Toronto’s Training Centre offers training for service providers on a variety of topics on sexuality, sexual and reproductive health, education and prevention. Taught by experienced facilitators, these sessions offer the latest in information and practice to service providers who work with a variety of communities.

Training sessions will help participants identify key elements of effective sexual health education based on the latest research, develop comfort with discussing sexual health, develop increased knowledge of key sexual health topics, recognize the importance of values, attitudes, and beliefs in teaching and learning about sexual health, and learn strategies and skills to address diverse learning styles, cultures, and experiences.

Building on the success of last year, this year introduces new trainings on healthy relationships for women, working with young men, and how to incorporate sexual health programming based on PPT’s groundbreaking Toronto Teen Survey (2009). We have broadened our trainings to include populations in addition to youth. Please note our new workshop format and hours. We look forward to working with you and hope you find the Training Centre to be an informative and rewarding professional development experience. Trainings will be offered again in Winter and Spring.
