Course Overview

This webinar, aimed at health professionals and educators, will outline the value of pleasure-focused, positive approaches to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Relationships and Sexuality Education. It will emphasise the need to move beyond traditional harm reduction/risk minimisation paradigms and towards affirming and holistic care that promotes sexual well-being, empowerment, and safer sex practices. Promoting STI prevention and contraception options are a key component of the pleasure focused approach, as individuals can engage in sexual activities with greater confidence and reduced risk of contracting STIs.

 

Attendees will hear from speakers with experience in clinical and education settings and gain practical tips and tools to incorporate pleasure-positive approaches into their own work.

 

This webinar was developed in partnership with True Relationships & Reproductive Health.
