Professional trainings about sex and substance use are rare, and those that exist often center clinical or legal perspectives that do not realistically reflect our clients’ varied relationships to drugs and alcohol. This Advanced Sexual Attitude Reassessment (SAR) is designed to help clinicians, educators, and service professionals investigate their perceptions and biases of the various mind-altering substances present in our communities while expanding their understanding of the roles these substances might play in our clients’ (and our own) lives – especially our sex lives.

Keeping it Kinky: Eroticism Across the Lifespan explores how pleasure, intimacy, identity, and erotic expression can evolve across the lifespan as bodies, relationships, and support needs change. The course challenges myths about aging and sexuality while examining kink as a flexible wellness tool that may include power, sensation, ritual, fantasy, service, communication, and meaning—not only physically demanding activities.
