S.H.A.R.E. Seminars

BAK, Inc. developed S.H.A.R.E. (Sexual Health and Responsible Education) to bring awareness to all people regardless of age, race, religion, economic standing or sexual orientation regarding sexual health issues.  The goal of S.H.A.R.E. is to re-teach the idea of sex ed and make each person responsible for his or her actions relating to sexual health.  Everyone has a life path they wish to follow and actions can cause one to be derailed from that path.  S.H.A.R.E. teaches awareness of those actions that can create problems.  It's then up to each individual to decide how they will act in those situations.

Topics Discussed
Abstinence
Masturbation
Intimacy Boundaries
Unintended Pregnancies
Sexually Transmitted Infections and Diseases
HIV/AIDS
Word Definitions and Meaning
Communication with Partners
Family Planning Methods

The program that S.H.A.R.E. delivers is open and honest, non-judgmental and informative.  Some situations discussed can be uncomfortable for those in attendance for various reasons.  Some people may have been faced with scenarios presented or know others dealing with pain over circumstances.  Again judgment is never made and no one is singled out.  The idea is to bring awareness to the effects of each decision made regarding our sexual lives.

BethAnn Karmeisool teaches all seminars.  Karmeisool has a Master's degree in Public Health from the University of Michigan and is a certified sexual health educator.  She encourages responsible behavior.

Beth has owned and operated S3 Safe Sex Store since its creation in 1995, dealing first hand with issues concerning our youth.  In 2000, she won the most honored award as Businessperson of the Year from M.A.P.P., the Midwest AIDS Prevention Project, for her efforts in outreach education. 

Each seminar is age and audience appropriate and can be tailored to any organization’s individual needs.
