ICCER is pleased to offer a follow-up webinar about sexuality in continuing care on March 18. Initiating conversations about resident sexual expression in Alberta's continuing care homes will include a panel discussion to build knowledge, comfort, and skill with talking about resident sexual expression as panelists share their insights around this important aspect of resident life.
About the webinar: There is ample evidence of continuing care residents' ongoing interest in sexual expression and its benefits for well-being. Despite this, sexual expression in care homes is a complex matter and can be perceived as taboo. When broaching the topic of resident sexual expression there can be difficulties in finding the right language, or tensions surrounding attitudes and values. Sometimes resident sexual expression is unexpected in continuing care homes and conversations about it may use euphemisms, stigma, shame, or conversations are avoided altogether. As a result, residents and care providers can be left feeling unseen, unheard, unsafe, and/or disrespected.
