In this session, participants will discuss sexual and reproductive health (SRH) as a central component of humanness and, therefore, an integral part of wellness to which mental health clinicians must attend. The current state of SRH competence in mental health, strategies to infuse sex-positivity into clinical practice, and ethically navigating current legislation limiting access to SRH-related health care will also be discussed. Registration is limited to the first 15 members registered.
