Sexual Health Assessment and Treatment in Clinical Practice
Summary
The objective of this training is to help mental health professionals develop confidence and a skill set for discussing sexual identity, health/wellness, and intimacy with their clients. Fundamentals of sex therapy from a biopsychosocial approach will be covered to ensure that participants feel well-equipped to incorporate sexual functioning into their core approach to assessment and treatment. The learner will understand the ramifications of relegating this topic to a "specialized" treatment approach and feel skilled and capable in addressing sex therapy topics as a foundational approach to assessment and treatment.
Identify at least three reasons to incorporate sexual health assessment into general mental health treatment.
Apply common assessment questions in practice to understand history and underlying issues associated with sexual concerns.
Describe the relationship between trauma experiences and common difficulties associated with sexual intimacy and health.
