People throughout their lives enjoy sex and intimacy. Older adults are no exception. Join us for a lively workshop where you will discover the rates of sexual activity among adults ages 65 and older, statistics regarding sexually transmitted infections and recommendations to enhance sexual health while aging. You’ll have a chance to examine attitudes about later-life sexuality among older adults, healthcare professionals and yourself. Also, you’ll learn about the experiences, needs and resilience of LGBTQ older adults, as well as sexual expression in elders with dementia.
