Talking to our clients about their sex lives can feel a bit daunting at first, yet we have evidence to assert that the responsibility lies in the clinician to broach the subject. How do we initiate conversations around sexual functioning, wellness, and concerns with our clients?
This session will identify and explore the importance of clinicians initiating conversations around sex with their clients and practical strategies on how to do so. We will draw from clinical research and evidence-based approaches to support with increasing clinicians’ knowledge and ability to provide sexual education, interventions for common sexual concerns, and resources for further learning.
