FLASH (Family Life and Sexual Health) is a widely used comprehensive sexual health education curriculum developed by Public Health Seattle - King County. This training, a highly interactive and research-based learning process that supports educators with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully use the FLASH program in the classroom, will focus on delivering the newly revised middle and high school versions. Educators who successfully complete the FLASH training walk away with knowledge and skills on the foundations of sexual health and HIV instruction, which are relevant for teaching ANY sexual health curriculum:

• How to answer sensitive student questions
• Key concepts to use in teaching the FLASH curriculum (or other curricula)
• Best practices in methodology for teaching key sexuality education topics, such as abstinence, puberty, sexual violence prevention, LGBT issues, and more
