Empowering Sexual Health Education

The Canadian Sexual Understanding & Education for Digital Equity (SUEDE) Society was founded to meet teachers where they're at: busy, working hard, and in charge of one of the most important learning topics for young people to live healthy, happy lives.

Our organization aims to provide no-prep, ready to roll resources for sexual health education that are accurate, trustworthy, and inclusive of all students in Canadian schools.

All our resources intend to be 2S/LGBTQIA+ inclusive, anti-racist, and welcoming of all bodies. If we haven't achieved that - let us know in our contact form at the bottom.
