Sex Work Unveiled: A Practical and Decolonized Guide for Supporting Clients

Title of Event: Sex Work Unveiled: A Practical and Decolonized Guide for Supporting Clients
 
Description of Event: Step into an immersive, interactive workshop designed for therapists, educators, coaches, and care providers who are ready to deepen their understanding of sex work using a decolonized and client-centered lens. Co-facilitated by Lilithfoxx, CSE, (she/her) and Cady Moore, MPH, CSE, (she/her), this professional development event offers expansive, real-world approaches to supporting sex-working clients with integrity, intention, and care. This is a one-of-a-kind professional development workshop designed for the EDSE community in collaboration with EDSE lead educator Anne Hodder-Shipp, CSE. 
 
This course invites you to explore, examine, and unlearn the biases and judgments that are common in clinical and sexuality spaces while learning new, more effective tools you can use in your work right away. Our final hour together will be dedicated exclusively to practicing how to apply these tools and concepts in professional environments, so you will leave not only with new knowledge and skills, but also with confidence for how to use them in “real life.”
 
Together, we will:
 
Build and practice skills for offering affirming, non-judgmental, and practical support to sex-working clients and colleagues.
 
Challenge outdated narratives, inaccurate assumptions, and harmful attitudes about sex work and sex workers and learn what’s actually true.
 
Examine the historical and systemic roots of criminalization and better understand the importance of decriminalization.
 
Unpack stigma, shame, and stereotypes while better understanding how whorephobia and the whorearchy show up in sexuality spaces.
 
Learn how to show up and support sex workers in ways that are unconventional, grounded, and transformative.
 
and more!
 
Using a blend of reflective activities, storytelling, role-play, and resource-sharing, you will leave with a how-to toolkit that goes beyond theory —equipping you to be an even more effective, expansive, impactful sexuality professional. This is not your average CEU workshop. This is a call to unlearn, listen deeper, and hold space like you mean it!
