“I once had a consent talk and the person who ran it made it seem like it was all men who were the issue. As a result I have not been keen to go to sex talks since. However, this program has changed my mind and I am very grateful for that.”

“Consent Labs has clearly worked hard at developing workshops that reduce the unnecessary stigma around conversations of consent. By encouraging open discussion, I was able to learn about the fundamentals of consent, as well as how to approach consent when alcohol and other drugs are involved.”

“To be honest before the session I thought not another consent talk that covers everything we know… but this session was fabulous. It wasn’t condescending, it included interesting and new information and was extremely engaging. The speaker Fran was amazing and such a great speaker and I would definitely recommend to Consent Labs to other institutions !!!!”
