Empowering Understanding and Confidence in Sexuality and Relationships

WHR has long had a passion for promoting and supporting our clients to develop and maintain positive, healthy sex lives. We recognise all people as sexual beings and endeavour to educate and support others to enable this to be a positive experience.

The groups have been designed and developed based on our team’s own professional experience and training to assist individuals in understanding sex, sexuality and relationships from an occupational therapy perspective. The groups include anatomical and social education, with each session able to be flexible enough to meet the participants’ needs in that group.

Our goals are to:

• Provide a comfortable learning space to improve participants’ safety when meeting new people and developing relationships (sexual or not).
• To optimise sexual expression and experience and promote healthy positive sex lives.
• To improve understanding around each individual having things they like/dislike in regard to sex & sexuality.
• Support parents and carers to be comfortable talking about sex and sexuality.

The group can be delivered over an eight-week program or over a short intensive course. Each session will cover a new topic guided by the occupational therapist. Throughout the eight weeks, we will also have guest speakers presenting on their areas of expertise. i.e., a sexual health nurse.

Whilst not compulsory, we strongly encourage parents/carers to attend a pre-program session where we will outline the course content week by week and enable you to ask questions of our facilitators.

Topics covered will include:
