Specialist Relationship and Sex Education (Learning Disability and Autism)

AreYou - Training and Consultancy CIC, delivers social support programmes to those with Learning Disabilities, difficulties and/or Autism. The focus of our work is around a positive and safe understanding of social, family, professional, lust and love relationships and sexual selves, a subject that is often missed or overlooked when considering the needs of those with additional needs.

Sex education for adults with learning disabilities is crucial to promote healthy relationships, informed decision-making, and personal safety. Tailoring the approach to accommodate diverse learning styles and abilities is essential. Here are some key considerations and strategies for providing sex education to adults with learning disabilities.

Our educational programmes cover a whole host of topics, such as understanding our mental health, safe and practical boundaries, emotions, self-care, understanding relationships and making sense of sexual self.

Within our social programmes, we offer a selection of events such as Zoom quiz nights, LGBTQ+ sessions, Sunday social walks, games sessions, karaoke and much more. These are provided to allow people to practice the skills they learn within the educational programmes.

We also offer bespoke sessions. We can support complex situations such as risk-taking behaviours, inappropriate sexual behaviours, mental health/self-esteem, forced marriage and lots more.

We are run by a Learning Disability Nurse with a highly skilled team of staff and volunteers to ensure an accessible, nurturing, effective service.

As a visual arts and educational charity, our mission is to cultivate art, creativity and a collaborative community. We believe art makes our lives better, brings joy, broadens minds, facilitates learning and creates meaningful connections in our communities.

We create opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience contemporary visual art – from looking and discussing, to making and curating. We achieve this by delivering an exciting and varied programme of exhibitions, off-site projects and participation events.

For over 40 years, we have supported sensational artists at the early stages of their careers. Artists such as Mona Hatoum, Richard Wilson and Susan Collis, all now internationally-acclaimed, received support from Aspex.

Today, we continue to offer the next generation of contemporary visual artists a platform from which to launch their careers.

Aspex has been running Generate – a free, inclusive art workshop for people with dementia – since 2015.

Providing a comfortable space to explore art, Generate takes place every Friday in our Learning Space. The sessions are led by artists Roy Eneas and Abi Wheeler, who support the participants to follow their own creative interests and find the techniques, materials and subject matter that inspires them.

Many of our participants join us with no arts background and those who do have some experience may not have painted or sketched for a long time. Over the years, we have seen how quickly people can develop their skills, gaining confidence and enjoyment through arts activities.

We currently have space for more members to join the group. If you’d like to find out more, please contact Dianna Djokey, Learning Programme Manager, at dianna@aspex.org.uk or on 02392 778080.
