Training alert! “Sexual Health Essentials” is a two-hour virtual workshop designed to equip participants with a working base knowledge of three areas essential to s*xual health: s*xually transmitted infections (STIs), contraceptive options, and safer s*x practices. Participants will learn basic information to support clients and members of their community on the topics of STIs, including testing, treatment, and navigating s*xual health while living with chronic STIs.

This training is ideal for clinical providers, community health workers, peer support workers, social service workers, and s*xual health educators. Both participants who have not received previous training on the topics, as well as those seeking to refresh existing knowledge, are encouraged to participate.
