Upcoming Health and Wellness Programming

Each fall, a small group of Upper School students attends the Georgetown Day School Sexual Assault and Consent Summit. This year, the attendees felt inspired to bring more of the program back to Potomac. Working alongside Mrs. Woods and Mr. Westermann, the students identified topics and speakers for a series of conversations for their peers and the faculty; the discussion topics will include the neurology of trauma, what is and isn't consent, and consent and the law. These engaging sessions which will begin on March 2, are designed to promote greater awareness about consensual relationships and how to advocate against unhealthy sexual behaviors. Parents interested in learning more about speaking with their children on the topic of sexual health can find resources here.
