SEX TALK & YOUR PRACTICE
Friday, October 19, 2012 Hyatt Regency, New Burnswick
What clinicians need to know about “Shades of Gray” and other sexuality-related topics that are posed or not posed in the clinical setting. Enhance your knowledge and comfort talking about all things sexual, plus receive 5 CEU credits.
Understanding the full array of sexual expression is often complex, confusing and uncomfortable for clinicians and clients alike, which can silence sexual dialogue and negatively impact treatment. This one-day workshop is designed to address common barriers, challenge sexual assumptions and increase the psychosexual comprehension of clinicians. Workshop participants will receive educational and networking resources.
