Basically a roundtable is just a moderated conversation with stakeholders. In case you haven’t seen it, shOUT hosted our first roundtable, “Religion, Spirituality, and Sexual Health,” in August. You can view it on YouTube.

We would like to host further roundtables, perhaps including events with medical and mental health professionals, with youth, and with guardians. If you know people who know people, this might be a great match for you! This doesn’t require a lot of time, but it is definitely easier to organize with a few poeple on board.

This meeting will take place on Zoom, so wherever you are in the Appalachian Highlands we look forward to seeing you!

Please register in advance for this meeting.

The 2023 Summit was a success and garnered lots of wonderfully positive feedback. The results we shared and the barriers to health we all identified are being used by several organizations in the area to inform their work. And we want to ensure we continue to positively affect youth sexual health. If you love it when a plan comes together, this is a great match for you—and we have a roadmap from last year’s Summit to help us out!

This planning meeting will take place on Zoom, so wherever you are in the Appalachian Highlands, we hope to see you there!

Notes from today’s general meeting.

Hello, shOUTers. The Jan. 12 Summit Planning meeting will be rescheduled due to COVID and a family emergency. Please stay tuned for updates.

shOUT is ready to roll forward in 2024 and we hope you will join us. Next general membership meeting is Wed Feb 7, and there are two planning meetings coming up, one for additional online roundtable discussions, and one for planning the 2024 Summit!

The shOUT Coalition, represented by RISE: Healthy for Life and the YWCA of NETN/SWVA, hosted a conversation among clergy, people of faith, and sexual health educators to explore the tensions and compatibility between faith and sexual health.
