ABSTRACT:
Developing consensual sexual relationships can be a challenge particularly in the context of clients with problem sexual behaviors. Bringing discussions of healthy sexuality to our clients necessitates candor and a comprehensive sexuality education approach. Yet how do we create an atmosphere of positive, non-coercive, and pleasurable sexual expression for adolescents with problem sexual behaviors? Using a public health model which incorporates sexual health, sexual pleasure, sexual wellbeing, and sexual justice (Mitchell et al., 2021) and the Circles of Sexuality (Daile, 1981), we can offer our clients an opportunity to develop the tools they need for consensual sexual and intimate relationships. This session will offer participants the most up-to-date research on effectiveness of comprehensive sexuality education, two models of comprehensive sexuality education for psychoeducational groups, ample time for application of these approaches, and the opportunity for frank discussion about the challenges our clients face.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
