Lastly, the

7 8 I. THE PROBLEMS ASKADUDE HELPS TO SOLVE

Askadude grew out of 3 months of user research into sex, love dating and relationships as experienced by adults living with a cognitive disability.

We identified four pain points:

Staff don’t know their employers’ 1 expectations when it comes to supporting sexualities.

Consequently, accurate information 2 is withheld or only presented in a risk & safety context.

There are systemic barriers to 3 relationships.

Men are particularly left out of 4 the conversation.

9 1 Staff not knowing

We found that many direct service employers’ expectations to guide ignore sexuality or to convey staff don’t feel like they have the them. (Several staff referred to conservative values to the people tools to have conversations about this as their “common sense”. they support. sexuality, dating and relationships. But what constitutes “common They aren’t sure what community sense” varies greatly from staff For too many folks living with a living agencies’ expectations to staff - particularly when it cognitive disability, these factors of them are: Are they allowed comes to sexuality - and it is are perpetuating social exclusion to answer questions on these often incongruous with actual and hindering full self-expression topics? Are the people they’re agency policies.) Many staff also and quality of life supporting allowed to date? In report the usual concern that the absence of clarity, staff are doing something wrong will lead left with their own values and to censure. Most staff conclude their assumptions about their that the safest approach is to

Folks like Rupan. He asks regularly to wear makeup and nail polish and a sari. His staff think this is attention-seek- ing behaviour and tell him he can wear makeup once a year on Halloween when Folks like Pat. He is very inter- he dresses like Dracula. When he’s ested in sex but afraid to ask told this, Rupan gets upset and breaks questions. He’s been fed lots of things. Then staff sedate him. misinformation to keep him in the dark, such as “masturbation makes your brain shrink” 10 2 Risk and safety narrative dominantes

Likely as a result of this lack of Conversations about relationships, There are reasons for this risk and staff clarity and broader cultural partnering etc. are framed as safety narrative. We are working prejudices, we found that adults either: “that would be nice” with with a population that has a higher with cognitive disabilities and no plans to act, or moved in a risk of being sexually abused. the staff that support them are different, ‘safer’ direction, where We are working with a population operating from a risk and safety the only sexual behaviour takes that sometimes exhibits sexual narrative when it comes to sex, place alone and is not talked behaviour out of step with cultural dating and relationships.

But that does not foster control. Less common but also detrimental growth. Or learning. Or joy. are staff who support people who ARE dating, but believe that such relationships are “none of their business” and don’t talk about them - denying the individual insight or feedback on common relationship dynamics.

11 3 Systemic Barriers

We also found that many people experience systemic barriers to building and maintaining their romantic relationships.

Folks like Josh. He lived in a Folks like the scores of group home and his girlfriend people we’ve worked with lived with her parents. When Folks like Joseph and over the years who say they they told their support networks Leanne. They have been want a boyfriend or girl- they wanted to get engaged, romantic partners for more friend, a husband or wife, they were told their service than two decades but have but have never gone on a hours would be cut.

He wanted to marry, they both is unable to use public transit. replied in unison “It’s too The relationship soon fell apart. expensive.”

12 4 Men left out

Several male staff told us they is appropriate in public. We heard by current formal models of sex didn’t think this conversation was whispers about guys who still talk and relationship education, and “for their guys” while in the next about their “girlfriend” although that they have less of a culture of breath telling us about purchasing they haven’t seen that person in discussing relationships - their blow-up dolls or sending them years. Research shows that men joys and discontents (McNamarra to classes to talk about what is (in the disability sector and be- et al., 2011). appropriate in private and what yond) are not being well served

13 II. HOW IS ASKADUDE DIFFERENT?

Some sexual health and relationship education programs aimed at people with developmental disabilities already exist:

The Sunny Hill program has The Circles program teaches what legal and ethical conditions excellent information on the about physical and social must be met for two people to mechanics of the body. This is boundaries from a prescriptive, agree to start dating. It says not sufficient. In his 1991 book safety-oriented perspective. nothing about how someone might on sexuality and disability, “I This is not sufficient. The social express interest in another person, Contact”, David Hingsburger world has too many variables for or gage another person’s interest asserts that human sexuality a simple, universal script to be in them. Nor does it say anything cannot be minimized into the effective. (For example, Circles’ about what might happen once physical act. Essentially, “sex” accompanying VHS tapes were two people start dating. Circles is about what one does, and created in the 1980s. The social can help prevent some lousy “sexuality” is about who one norms informing some of their outcomes. It cannot facilitate is. Anatomy lessons do not scripts now seem dated, even great ones. contemplate personhood. problematic.) Circles can tell you

These curricula of sexual health education do not give individuals with cognitive disabilities the tools or skills to flourish; to build meaningful relationships with their own sexuality and with others. We believe that men specifically are underserved by sexual health curricula, and that getting them on board and excited is key to positive outcomes in this field. How do we engage people in social learning from a place of interest and excite- ment, rather than risk and safety?

14 Enter Askadude.

Askadude is different because it’s NOT a curriculum. It’s a dynamic, in- teresting conversation. It models people on-screen sharing frank insights as experts of their own experience. It provides food for thought. It creates an open, in-person dialogue where individuals can explore. It cuts through shame and silence with humour, candour, and an eye to entertainment value.. It changes sexuality from a hidden topic of conversation to THE topic of conversation.

And it’s driven by a value set:

Every human being – whether sexually active or not – has a sexuality

Sexuality is an important dimension of the human experience.

People have the right to engage in sexual expression and to achieve healthy relationships.

Supporting people to discover and develop their sexuality is good practice - an “integral part of the Association’s services” (posAbilities policy manual)

People have the right to information, education and support regarding human sexuality and their personal sexual interests, expressions, identities and choices.

Such support is a lifelong learning process.

Associations should positively and publicly adopt these principles so that all staff have clarity around their employers’ expectations.

15 III. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!

Here are some highlights of what the Askadude team has accomplished working two days a week for the past few months on this project:

Internal promotion External promotion

and recruitment of Participants, and recruitment of Facilitators, Facilitators, Allies and Hosts via Volunteers and Allies via Team Managers, Team Leaders outside organizations (Opt and Program Coordinators in BC, student groups, Emily Carr partner agencies. Health Design Lab etc.)

This has led to:

A trained facilitator screens some of these episodes at a watching The facilitator asks for feedback, party in a group home, day centre questions and opinions from the or community space. Participants participants. (Mechanism) watch the content over pizza and pop. (Core interaction) This feedback informs the content of subsequent filmed episode . He then leads the participants in a conversation about the episodes they’ve just watched. New questions and on-screen performers are also discovered at watching parties. (See below)

At Askadude we make content through a feedback loop what they’ve seen on screen and discussed. where videos are made about questions posed by guys in our community and at our watching parties. The Later in a studio space with guys recruited from videos are made in two ways: Watching Parties alongside actors, comedians etc. Studio videos also introduce new subjects & questions, On-site at the Watching Party.

Future recruitment initiatives should incorporate the following channels and value propositions:

39 40 How we recruit participants to viewing parties

......

Our first round of participant led to 3 Viewing Parties. One was Lifeshare providers. recruitment occurred via: in Still Creek Education Centre Emailed brochures aimed at outside of regular program hours. participants. These were set to Direct recruitment of people in our One was in Stage Door Day go in the event that Lifeshare own circles who had expressed Program during regular program providers responded to us with interest in the project. hours.

Managers led to 1 Viewing Party. This forwarded the brochures to occurred in Slocan Field House - a rented community space.

None were recruited via Lifeshare providers receiving an email or an electronic brochure aimed at support networks and then passing on a brochure aimed at participants. (It is unknown to what extent this was due to lifeshare providers not passing the information on, or to lack of interest among people living in Lifeshare, or to other barriers.)

42 So far, some of the participants have been recruited through managers or supervisors who have seen these materials and recommended the events to people they know. Others have taken part because they saw hard copies of the materials at Still Creek and asked us about them. Others took part because they saw us working on this project at Still Creek and asked if they could be included. As yet we have not had a participant take part because a direct support person (lifeshare provider or line worker) saw one of our printed materials and recommended it to someone they were supporting.

Some Shifts in Focus / New Iterations

As we spoke to more residential in Askadude as it currently exists. staff, we began to question In the end we concluded that whether people living in residences We began investigating whether some folks living in residences are truly a key group we want to we might better serve people are interested in viewing parties, reach.

Many reach them would be: at Viewing in residences, private homes, day folks living in residences have Parties in their homes, or at Day programs and community spaces. challenges around communication Programs they attend, or in public and would not be able to take part community spaces.

We are interested in recruiting hosts from three streams: support staff, parents and community connections. We are looking for people who are part of our participants’ communities: day programs, homes, etc.

Since the Host role lacked clarity for a while, we developed fewer specific recruitment materials for this role. Below is a rough outline of the ways we would continue recruit .
