This 3-CEU course equips practicing clinicians with the knowledge and tools to provide affirming, inclusive care for aging clients in the context of sexual health. Participants will explore the impact of sexual ageism, health disparities, and implicit biases on clinical practice, with a focus on older adults, particularly those from racially and ethnically marginalized communities.
Grounded in evidence-based research and enriched by multimedia storytelling, this training uses film and lived-experience narratives to engage participants and amplify the voices of those most affected. Clinicians will gain critical insights into the intersection of age, race, gender, and sexual health, and examine how these factors shape health outcomes and access to care.
Through interactive discussion and reflective exercises, this course challenges outdated assumptions, reduces stigma, and promotes inclusive, person-centered approaches to sexual health in later life. Ideal for social workers, mental health professionals, and health providers seeking to advance health equity through culturally responsive care.
