Guelph - The Guelph Sexuality Conference, Canada's largest and longest-running sexual health forum, will accentuate the positive this year rather than dwell on all the things that can go wrong with sex and relationships.
"Our theme this year is positive approaches to sexuality and sexual health because we’re trying to shift the conversation away from the traditional focus of sexual health education on the risks and dangers associated with sexuality," said Robin Milhausen, a professor and sexuality researcher in the Department of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition.
“Even though as an educator or a therapist, you have to deal with the negative issues, you can approach them in positive ways.”
The 31st annual conference takes place June 15 to 17 at the University of Guelph. The event brings together hundreds of educators, nurses, physicians, therapists, social workers, clergy, students and other health professionals from across North America.
Milhausen said this year’s program features more than 75 presenters and 40 concurrent sessions – the most ever offered at the conference.
