*NEW* Sexual Health After Trauma

Sexual trauma affects a huge number of people.  Nearly 1/2 of women and 1 in 4 men report having endured sexual violence at some time in their lives. One in 2 trans-identifying people report experiencing sexual violence. Survivors face a huge challenge to enjoy healthy sex after sexual trauma. Some of these challenges may include; body image concerns, decreased desire, decreased arousal, vaginal dryness, vaginal pain, pain with intercourse and inability to climax.

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.
