Sexuality and Physical Disability Workshop

We know that people living with an acquired disability consider sexuality a high priority. While most clinicians agree that addressing sexuality concerns is important, many members of the multidisciplinary team feel underprepared to talk about it or handle it with their clients.

This interactive workshop focuses on skill building. The goal is to help every member of the treating team understand their role in addressing sexuality during their work, using practical, non-pharmacological strategies.

We will use the PLISSIT model to work through real-world scenarios across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings. The day includes small group activities and videos to give you the chance to practice the concepts so you can use them in your clinical work straight away.

1. Confidently raise sexuality as part of assessment, screening, and intervention across a range of health and disability settings.

2. Develop a deeper understanding of common sexuality concerns experienced by people living with physical disability.

3. Identify practical strategies and specific suggestions to address common challenges and concerns.

4. Strengthen confidence in responding to sexuality-related discussions within multidisciplinary practice.

5. Engage in collaborative learning, networking, and discussion with opportunities for reflection and questions.

The venue is wheelchair accessible.

Participants can access the on-site kitchen and parking facilities throughout the day.

Doors open at 9:30am for sign-in before the workshop begins.

Lunch and refreshments are provided.
