BCBA Ethics CEU
Abstract:
It is estimated that 1 in 4 people experience period poverty. This opportunity will unpack the intersection and implications of reproductive justice, ensuring comprehensive, medically accurate, culturally relevant health education is available in k-12 schools during a politically volatile climate, as well as a disproportionate impact menstrual product insecurity has on vulnerable groups such as; Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming and/or Non-Binary Folks, those who are unhoused or housing insecure and incarcerated individuals. This presentation will meet ACE standards for ethics CEUs, allowing participants to understand health education through a culturally responsive lens (1.07), consulting with other providers and experts (3.06), and advocating for appropriate services (3.12). Presentation is provided by subject matter expert, doctor of public health and winner of the 2023 National Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA) Gold Award for the Athletics, Recreation, Counseling, Health, Wellness, and related category as well as the 2023 overall Grand Silver Award for her work in reproductive justice by addressing period poverty for college students living in rural Georgia, Dr. Gemma Skuraton and PhD and BCBA Gabriella Barrientos.
