Often, providers and direct support professionals (DSPs) working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) aren’t sure how to support clients with their sexuality or feel uncomfortable addressing this topic. Individuals with IDD deserve to live healthy, full lives within their community of choice.

Join Relias to hear Nellie Galindo, MSW, MSPH, and Rémy Jodrey, MS, LCMHC, discuss ways for DSPs to comfortably support IDD individuals with their sexuality.

Learning Objectives

  • What topics to consider when providing support for sexual health and identity?
  • How to identify your own values around sexuality?
  • How to best support individuals with IDD when issues of sexuality arise in their daily lives?
