*NEW* Sexual Health After Trauma

Sexual trauma affects a huge number of people.  Approximately half of all women and one out of every four men have reported experiencing sexual violence at some point. For survivors, the journey towards reclaiming a fulfilling sexual life can be fraught with obstacles. These may encompass issues with body image, a reduction in sexual desire, challenges with arousal, vaginal discomfort or dryness, pain during sexual activity, and difficulties achieving orgasm.

Julie Valentine Center is offering free one-on-one virtual visits with a Nurse Practitioner trained in the dynamics and effects of sexual trauma.  These visits involve discussing and assessing concerns about a survivor’s sexual health as a result of their sexual trauma. The Nurse Practitioner can provide medical advice, recommendations and resources that can help survivors resume or develop a healthy sex life.
