Trauma-informed
Calm, choice-centered language avoids blame, fear, and unnecessary detail.
About Georgia Michaels
I’m a sexual assault counselor, sex educator, Community Prevention Educator, MSW student, and aspiring sex therapist. Consent Classroom is the home for the educational resources, advocacy, and community support information I create.
Why I created Consent Classroom
When sexual health is discussed openly and without stigma, people gain the language to understand their bodies, communicate boundaries, recognize nuanced consent, and seek support.
This education is also part of violence prevention. Teaching children anatomically correct terms, body autonomy, consent, and how to identify safe adults strengthens protective skills and makes unsafe behavior easier to recognize and report.
Consent Classroom lets me connect education with survivor-centered resources instead of treating them as separate issues.
Featured learning resource
I’m sharing this animation because it explores an essential part of consent education: people’s freedom to choose can be affected by power, pressure, relationships, and whether they feel supported.
Created and published by the Sex, Sexualities & Sexual Harm Research Group. The animation was developed through research on power inequalities and freedom to consent in UK Relationships and Sex Education, conducted with a team of eight young co-researchers aged 13–14.
This video is embedded from the creators’ original YouTube upload. Consent Classroom did not create or modify it.My approach
Calm, choice-centered language avoids blame, fear, and unnecessary detail.
Anatomical terms and health information are presented clearly and responsibly.
Materials make room for different bodies, families, identities, and experiences.
Every design prioritizes readability, practical guidance, and easy printing.
About the creator
While studying psychology and Gender and Sexuality Studies at Drexel University, I founded S.E.C.R.E.T., a peer-led sexual health and survivor advocacy organization. For several years, I created programs about consent, sexual health, safer sex, survivor advocacy, and prevention.
I trained and worked as a sexual assault counselor and Crisis Advocate intern at WOAR (Philadelphia Center Against Sexual Violence), supporting survivors and deepening my understanding of trauma-informed, survivor-centered care.
Today, I am a Community Prevention Educator at Philadelphia Children’s Alliance. I provide body-safety and child sexual abuse prevention education to children, caregivers, educators, and youth-serving professionals across Philadelphia. I also serve as the Pennsylvania Ambassador for the Sex Ed Lecture Series, helping connect professionals with continuing education and upcoming lectures. I am also pursuing my Master of Social Work.
I am pursuing my Master of Social Work with the goal of becoming a licensed clinical social worker and sex therapist. Through Consent Classroom, I bring together education, prevention, advocacy, support resources, and tools that make complex topics easier to discuss without shame, fear, or vague language.
