Presented by Taylor Harmon, MA, CSE

This training provides an overview of contemporary sexuality education grounded in sexual and reproductive health, pleasure, inclusivity, and evidence-informed practice. Participants will examine current information related to sexual and reproductive anatomy and physiology, as well as health and medical factors that influence sexual well-being, including contraception, sexually transmitted infections, fertility, pregnancy, disability, mental health, trauma, and safer-sex practices. Emphasis is placed on developing inclusive, affirming approaches that recognize the diverse experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals, people with disabilities, culturally diverse communities, and those with varied relationship structures and sexual expressions. This training is best for folks who are beginning their AASECT certification process, educators and clinicians wishing to gain a foundational understanding of sexual and reproductive health, and adults seeking to refresh or fill gaps in their sex education experience.

Course Objectives:

  • Describe the structure and function of sexual and reproductive anatomy and physiology using accurate, inclusive, and affirming terminology relevant to diverse bodies and identities. 
  • Identify and explain major health and medical factors that influence sexual functioning and well-being, including contraception, sexually transmitted infections, fertility, pregnancy, disability, mental health, and safer-sex practices. 
  • Apply an inclusive, sex-positive, and culturally responsive framework when discussing sexuality-related topics with clients, students, and community members from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences

This course will be offered virtually (synchronous) and will require pre-registration.
