Sexuality Conference to Explore Positive Approaches
The Guelph Sexuality Conference, Canada’s largest and longest-running sexual health forum, will accentuate the positive this year rather than dwell on all the things that can go wrong with sex and relationships.
“Our theme this year is positive approaches to sexuality and sexual health because we’re trying to shift the conversation away from the traditional focus of sexual health education on the risks and dangers associated with sexuality,” says Prof. Robin Milhausen, Family Relations and Applied Nutrition. “Even though as an educator or a therapist, you have to deal with the negative issues, you can approach them in positive ways.”
The 31st annual conference runs June 15 to 17 on campus. Leading up to the conference, an intensive sex therapy training program is being offered June 8 to 12, and a day of pre-conference workshops runs June 15. For more details, go to http://sexconf.open.uoguelph.ca.
