Course description: 

Sexual expression can have physical, mental, and emotional benefits for continuing care residents. However, it is a topic that is often overlooked and people are not always prepared to talk about it. In this course, we will cover some fundamentals about this topic, including communication, privacy, cognitive capacity, ethics, and more. We will discuss what sexual expression looks like for residents in continuing care homes, address common misconceptions, and explore challenges and opportunities faced by residents, care staff, and families. Through understanding multiple perspectives, we can approach sexual expression in ways that better uphold resident’s rights and dignity, respect staff’s needs and safety, and enable all carers to better anticipate and respond to resident sexual expression.
