Sexually Speaking Part 1: Sexual Development and Disruption

Sexuality is an integral part of being human. Sexual development is one of the most significant stages in an individual’s life. Love, affection, and sexual intimacy contribute to healthy relationships, feeling connected and individual well-being. However, the physical, cognitive and emotional challenges stemming from brain injury can greatly affect an individual’s ability for healthy sexual development and the formation/maintenance of positive social and sexual relationships. This webinar will focus on neurotypical physical, emotional and cognitive growth, and subsequent issues associated with the occurrence of TBI. Optimal points for education for teens and parents will be discussed as well as best practices for providing culturally competent care to adolescents and best supports for families navigating parenting and sexuality with youth who have experienced TBI. OBJECTIVES: · Review physical, psychological and neurobiological changes that occur during adolescence. · Discuss how neurologic injury might disrupt this dynamic process--physical and psychological effects. · Highlight best practices for providing culturally competent care to adolescents who have experienced a TBI (possible case presentation) · Discuss how to best support families as they navigate the challenges of parenting an adolescent who has experienced a TBI. Join us for a three-part series on sexuality across the lifespan: development and disruption, forming and maintaining relationships and the complex presentation and treatment of individuals with hyposexuality and problematic sexual behavior.
