Sexual health is an essential part of human well-being, yet many healthcare providers struggle to approach it with the ease, openness, and confidence their patients need. Leading with Curiosity: Building Skills for Sexual Health Conversations is an interactive training designed to transform how you engage with clients and patients around sexual health.
Through guided practice, live demonstrations, and reflective dialogue, you’ll learn not only the what of sexual health conversations—but the how. With curiosity at the center, this course empowers you to create inclusive, affirming, and client-centered spaces where sensitive topics can be discussed with comfort, empathy, and cultural awareness.
Why Curiosity Matters
Curiosity opens doors where judgment closes them. In this training, you’ll discover how to lead with curiosity to:
Honor the dignity and worth of every person.
Reduce stigma and discomfort in conversations about sexuality.
Strengthen relationships with patients and clients by creating safety and trust.
Build confidence to navigate complex and sensitive topics across diverse cultural, gender, and sexual identities.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Understand Core Sexual Health Principles: Apply the six principles of sexual health with curiosity as the foundation for dialogue.
Learn the Framework of Sexual Health Conversations: Develop a structure for creating safe, inclusive, and informed spaces for patients and clients.
Develop Practical Skills Through Engagement: Practice initiating and navigating conversations in real-time through role-play, guided reflection, and facilitator feedback.
Format & Experience
Delivered online, this course combines engaging lectures, role-play, and live interaction with expert facilitators.
