Description
This webinar equips mental health professionals with the knowledge and therapeutic skills needed to navigate sensitive conversations about sexual health. Participants will explore how shame, fear, and stigma shape client experiences and learn practical strategies for discussing STIs, contraception, and related ethical concerns with clarity and compassion.
Part One offers a focused overview of common STIs, essential points for diagnosis and treatment, and emerging options such as PrEP. The session highlights how to reduce shame and foster open dialogue, supported by ethical considerations and case-based discussion.
Part Two provides a concise yet comprehensive look at contraceptive options—long-acting, short-acting, and barrier methods—along with key clinical considerations such as adolescence, STI risk, and conditions like hyperandrogenism/PCOS. Ethical dilemmas and vignettes help clinicians apply concepts to real-world scenarios.
By integrating medical information with therapeutic techniques, this webinar prepares clinicians to engage clients in sensitive sexual health conversations with confidence, empathy, and ethical grounding.
