SUPPORTING HEALTHY SEXUALITY IN OUR COMMUNITIES
Providing practical tools and strategies for parents, service providers and youth with disabilities
Welcome to TASCC
Our team is made up of educators, nurses and academics from Primary Care Alberta (Calgary Public Health); the Universities of Lethbridge and Calgary, and the Alberta Society for the Promotion of Sexual Health (ASPSH).
We are committed to supporting healthy sexuality in Canadian communities and promoting healthy sexuality throughout the lifespan.
We acknowledge that our work takes place on historical and contemporary Indigenous lands, including the territories of Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8, and the homeland of the Métis Nation within Alberta and eight Métis Settlements.
We recognize the many diverse First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people whose ancestors walked this land before us, and whose land we share today. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude, and strive to build strong, positive and healthy relationships moving forward.
We commit to closing the gaps in sexual and reproductive health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities and honouring the value of traditional healing practices.
How TASCC can help
The purpose of TASCC is to provide a venue for youth, parents and service providers to access current resources and information that reflects best practice in sexual health education and promotion.
TASCC offers practical tools and strategies for high risk youth, youth with disabilities and adults with disabilities. TASCC is a platform for online learning, a vehicle for knowledge transfer, and a sexual health resource for parents, service providers and youth.
“It’s important to tell children about the changes that are taking place in their body and it’s important that parents and staff are aware of how to help children understand.”
