Anne Hodder-Shipp Wins AASECT’s Standard of Excellence Award

LOS ANGELES — Internationally recognized sex educator, Anne Hodder-Shipp, ACS, CSE has won the 2022 Professional Standard of Excellence Award from the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). This award recognizes Hodder-Shipp’s extensive work to represent and advance the field of human sexuality through sex education, most notably with Everyone Deserves Sex Ed (EDSE), an organization that serves teens and parents, adults, and professionals in need of expansive and accurate information about human sexuality.   Recipients of AASECT’s Professional Standard of Excellence Award are recognized by their peers as a competent and accomplished colleague, an expert in their field, and an exemplary bearer of the standards of professional and personal ethics as well as the standard of excellence in achievement.   Hodder-Shipp is the founder and lead educator at EDSE, which offers a variety of workshops, trainings, and private education designed to provide an empowered and expansive perspective on sexuality topics. From queer and transgender teens in treatment to healthcare professionals in hospitals, Hodder-Shipp works to provide the kind of sex ed support that many of us wished we’d had in school.   Her most popular offerings include a 35-hour Sex Educator Certification, a unique Sexual Attitude Reassessment co-facilitated with Dr. Bianca Laureano of Ante Up!, and a “Sex Ed Crash Course” that turns the information we should have learned in school and into a 90-minute class.   “It is an honor to be named and recognized by AASECT and my colleagues with the Professional Standard of Excellence Award!” Hodder-Shipp said. “My goal is to offer the sex ed that was missing from our education experiences, whether it be to actual high schoolers or professionals and care providers working in health and wellness fields. And by teaching the teachers, I can help make this information even more widely available while collaborating with professionals I love and admire. I’ve witnessed the life-changing impact of having access to accurate, empowered, and expansive sex education and I can’t imagine doing anything else.”   To learn more about Hodder-Shipp’s work, visit annehoddershipp.com.
