Body Appreciation: Sex With Chronic Pain or Illness

Pain is a barrier but not a roadblock to pleasure. Don't let chronic pain close the door on sexuality! Learn the skills to help yourself and others navigate the experience and maximize your pleasure.

Are you a healthcare professional looking to provide more compassionate, informed care to your patients or clients? Do you want to deepen your understanding of intimate relationships and sexual health for individuals facing chronic pain or illness? Are you someone who deals with chronic pain and wants to get more out of their sex life?

What to Expect:

Expert Guidance: Taught by experts in sexual health and psychology, our class offers invaluable insights, strategies, and practical knowledge.
