Trauma can impact one’s understanding and experience of intimacy, and given the high rates of sexual abuse amongst youth in foster care, it’s important that clinicians in child welfare are equipped with the skills and knowledge to talk about intimacy after sexual abuse. Despite how common this can be amongst sexual abuse survivors, it is often not addressed in therapy. In this course, the trainer will discuss how trauma impacts one’s relationship with sex and how to support youth in foster care and transitional age youth in developing a healthier understanding and experience of sex.
