Description
Contrary to popular belief, older adults are still able to engage in sexual activity if they desire. Although uncomfortable to many, this is a very important topic that needs to be addressed with health care professionals and their clients. Oftentimes health care professionals forget that seniors are adults and have the right to engage in sexual activity. However, there are many things to consider, such as cognition, and ethical discussions that need to be conducted This interactive program will offer insight into what seniors are looking for in later years and how to go about approaching and assessing seniors about sex and intimacy.
