Sexual health is an essential new clinical resource for professionals treating the intersection of sexual orientation and sexual trauma. By incorporating the principles of sexual health, clinicians will uncover deficit-focused sexual attitudes and taboos that are barriers for attaining sexual health knowledge among LGBTQ youth, their families and their trauma healing communities. Mr. Braun-Presenters will provide a map for increasing trauma therapist’s comfort, willingness and knowledge to initiate and facilitate sexual health conversations that promote LGBTQ youth coming to know the positive potential for their sexual development and health. They propose six fundamentals of sexual health to frame treatment and guide client sexual health conversations within their individual, couple, and family therapy. Workshop participants will learn how to consider the full potential of LGBTQ sexual lives to thrive as an essential ally for improving sexual trauma assessment and treatment.
