Virtual Training:  Sexual Education and Intimacy After Brain Injury

Presenter:  Melissa Bliss, MS, OTR/L, Assistive Technology Specialist with Maine CITE

Cost: $25.00

Brain injury and stroke can lead to changes in cognition, sensation, libido and the ability to move, which can complicate physical and intimate relationships. Altered sexual functioning and social communication may prompt people to seek adaptive means to participate in sex and intimacy. We all deserve access to accurate sexual health information and supportive resources for this basic human need.
This presentation will explore: ● Barriers to learning about and participating in sexual expression and intimate relationships after brain injury ● Resources available to communicate sexual health information to people with various brain injury symptoms ● Some resources and assistive technologies that enable people affected by brain injury to fulfill their needs for intimacy.
