The Parents’ Association (PA) and St. Stephen’s Health Services invite all St. Stephen’s parents to participate in two Winter Wellness Series presentations. Today's presentation is on consent related to sexual conduct. Please feel free to grab a coffee or a bite to eat in the Dining Hall beforehand. We realize that not all parents can attend in person, so we will record both parent programs and post links to them on MySSES for you to access at a convenient time.
Consent Around Sexual Matters This presentation will explore the legal, ethical and practical aspects of consent and be facilitated by a team of criminal attorneys. Founding partners of Sumpter & Gonzalez, Corinne Sumpter, J.D., L.L.M, and David Gonzalez, J.D., have spoken to teenagers about their legal risks and rights for more than 20 years. During the seminar, parents will learn the laws pertaining to consent and understand the complexities of these matters in a variety of situations, including explicit digital written consent but in-person change of mind, alcohol and controlled substances, sexting and child pornography laws, and ages in the juvenile and criminal justice systems. This session will include real cases from teenagers and hypothetical scenarios to help you talk with your child about the legal issues that may arise in sexual relationships.
Here is the special Upper School schedule for the day:
