Forum Planning:

• Booking a Venue
• Booking Speakers: It is recommended that your panel represent a wide range of perspectives on youth and sexual health issues. For that reason, the following speakers were chosen for the Parkgate Parents' Forum:
  • secondary school counsellor
  • peer counsellor educator
  • youth worker
  • "Options for Sexual Health" educator (formerly Planned Parenthood Association of BC)
  • RCMP school liaison officer
  • adolescent therapist
  • community health nurse
• Booking a Moderator: Given that teen sexuality and sexual health are controversial topics, it is best to select a moderator who is diplomatic and skilled in handling conflict. It is best if this person has a background in health education.
• Event Outreach:
  • Posters
  • Media
