ODL 446: Aging, Intimacy, and Human Sexuality: Supporting Sexual Health and Well-Being in Older Adults

2 Credit Hours: This two-hour training explores human sexuality within the older adult population, with attention to age-related physical, emotional, relational, cultural, cognitive, and social factors that may shape sexual expression and intimacy. Participants will examine common myths and biases about aging and sexuality, consider the impact of health conditions, medications, grief, disability, dementia, long-term care environments, and changing relationships, and identify ethical, person-centered ways to support older adults’ sexual rights, autonomy, safety, consent, and dignity.
