Knowing what consent is, isn’t enough.

Available Now!

Help your students practice consent when the stakes are low so they’re prepared when the stakes are high.

Comprehensive Consent focuses on more than what consent is and isn’t.

Every workshop and offering is designed in service of building a student’s consent skills and giving them real-world practice in navigating interpersonal interactions. 

By empowering young people in their body rights and developing their social-emotional consent skills, Comprehensive Consent’s mission is to help nurture a generation of students who embody consent values and who are guided by their commitment to mutual respect for all people.

 

Effective consent education isn’t easy. We’re here to help.

  • Elementary School

    You don’t need to wait until a student reaches middle or high school to start developing their consent skills.

    Through peer-to-peer relationships, we can support their skills in navigating their wants and limits alongside the wants and limits of their others.

    When kids practice navigating their boundaries and desires when the stakes are low, they’re more prepared when the stakes are high.

    For Kids

  • Middle & High School

    As sexual consent becomes a relevant topic for tweens and teens, they need to make sense of minimal legal standards, ideal consent ethos, less-than-perfect depictions of sex in media, and the messiness of real-life situations.

    Help your students build their internal sense of right and wrong, overcome the barriers to practicing consent, and develop their decision-making capacity.

    For Tweens & Teens

  • Colleges & Universities

    As awareness about the pervasiveness of sexual assault on campus grows, it can be tempting to reach for simple rules (e.g., “yes means yes” or “you can’t drink and consent”) that ensure student safety.

    But we can’t guarantee safety. There’s no one-size-fits-all consent process.

    Instead, we can help these young adults think critically about how relationship history, substance use, social norms, and power dynamics influence consent.

    For Young Adults

What people are saying

  • I met Sarah at the NASPA conference when she did a presentation. My boss and I loved her so much that we thought her messaging would be helpful for our campus. Not only do I feel like working with Sarah was useful, I think the language that she left us with will be super helpful in how we shape our curriculum, policies, and behaviors in the future. Sarah is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and well-practiced. I enjoyed her being on campus and hope to work alongside Sarah to shift culture in the future.

  • Ms. Casper joined our community to support our ongoing DEIB work with the topic of consent as part of supporting an inclusive community where all of our members feel they belong. The session was engaging and informative and faculty and staff continued conversations around the topic long after her time with us that morning. I highly recommend her work in support of not only students but also adults.

  • Sarah's Consent Shake-Up workshop did exactly that — it challenged our high school seniors to engage in more nuanced thinking about practicing consent in the "real world," after high school. Through Sarah's prompts and well-articulated, relevant examples, the students had deep conversations that left a meaningful impact. Her presentation also introduced me, a health teacher and fellow consent educator, to new perspectives and enlightening ideas that will help inform my teaching, and personal consent practice in years to come. Sarah is incredibly skilled and thoughtful in this work, and we look forward to having her back to our school in the future!

  • This workshop was amazing! I am appreciative of the work you do and how you continue to expand upon the nuance of consent while also interrogating the frameworks that have become the norm for teaching in sexual violence prevention world. Thank you for shaking things up and leaving me with questions to process upon.
