Non-Monogamy 101: Safer Sex
Presenter: Kelsey Eisenberg, CSW
Date: July 9, 2026 | 7:00 PM MST
Format: Live, interactive synchronous webinar | 1 hour
Content Level: Beginner
Target Audience: Clinical Mental Health Providers, Medical Providers, Health Providers, General Public
CE Credits: 1 continuing education credit
Course Description
Safer sex conversations are essential — and for individuals in non-monogamous relationships, they require a level of nuance, specificity, and practical knowledge that many providers and clients simply haven't been equipped with. This one-hour live training provides concrete sexual health information to help participants develop personal risk profiles, understand strategies for reducing STI transmission, and build practical skills for communicating about sexual health with others.
Through didactic instruction, role-play, and skills practice, participants will explore modes of infectious disease transmission, the health and emotional risks associated with common STIs, and evidence-informed strategies for assessing and mitigating sexual health risks across diverse relationship structures. The course also introduces a structured framework for communicating about safer sex — equipping both clinicians and clients with language and tools for having these conversations clearly, confidently, and without shame.
Throughout the training, participants are invited to examine how culture, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and socioeconomic status shape both individual risk profiles and access to affirming sexual health information. The course emphasizes culturally responsive, nonjudgmental approaches that honor diverse identities, relationship structures, and lived experiences.
This training is grounded in the core social work values of dignity and worth, the importance of human relationships, and a commitment to social justice — affirming that accurate, inclusive safer sex education is a fundamental component of equitable healthcare and clinical practice.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:
Describe modes of infectious disease transmission and the health and emotional risks associated with common STIs.
Describe two strategies for developing a personal risk profile and two strategies for mitigating sexual health risks.
Communicate about safer sex practices with others utilizing a structured framework.
Limitations, Risks, & Benefits
This online training presents a foundational overview of the subject matter and is not intended to be comprehensive; clinicians are encouraged to seek out supplemental resources and peer-reviewed literature. The virtual format may not fully replicate the interactivity of in-person learning. The evidence base for this training's content may have limitations in generalizability across diverse populations, cultures, or practice settings, and content reflects information available at the time of its development; practitioners are encouraged to stay current with evolving research and regulatory standards. Participants may encounter discomfort as they explore sensitive topics or challenge existing beliefs and practices; however, no significant risks are anticipated. Benefits include increased foundational knowledge and practical skills for addressing safer sex in clinical and community settings, reduced discomfort when discussing sexual health across diverse populations, and enhanced competence in supporting clients in developing their own sexual health practices and communication skills.
