Talking about Healthy Sexuality

Temple University and Milestone HCQU West have joined in a venture to talk about the importance of healthy sexuality. We know that people with intellectual disabilities have questions around the topic of sexuality; they need and deserve clarity. It is also understood that families, Supports Coordinators , educators, and other professionals may not be sure how to talk about this topic.  Temple University, along with assistance from Milestone HCQU West, is conducting a four-part series to talk about healthy sexuality.

This series will occur on Wednesdays from 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. You may register for one, or all sessions by clicking the link provided by Temple University. Each session date is linked to registration for that individual session.

Session 1 – April 7
