CPHA webinar series: Reducing stigma related to STBBIs, sexuality and substance use


The stigma associated with sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs), sexuality and substance use overlaps and intersects with other forms of oppression such as racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and classism. Join us throughout fall 2020 and winter 2021 for our webinar series, where presenters from across the country will lead us in exploring ways to better serve diverse communities with respect to sexual health, substance use and STBBIs.

Tell it like it is: Sexual health and wellness for learners with developmental disabilities Tuesday 17 November 2020 13:00-14:00 EST.

There is a pervasive idea that people with developmental disabilities (PWDD) are incapable of expressing themselves sexually, understanding desire, or fostering intimate relationships. During this interactive webinar, participants will explore some of the challenges, including stigma and discrimination, experienced by people with developmental disabilities (PWDD) and learn how to apply sex positive strategies when providing sexual health education to PWDD.

 

The webinar will be offered in English only.
