For Disability Services Providers
Supporting the whole person means supporting their sexual health too. Yet many disability services organizations find themselves without the training, language, or frameworks to confidently address sexuality and healthy relationships with the people they serve.
We partner with disability services providers to fill the confident and knowledge gaps. We do this by providing tailored training, hands-on consultation, and engaging speaking sessions that meet your team where they are.

Bespoke Trainings
For organizations with specific needs, we develop custom training content built around your staff roles, your client population, and the unique challenges your team faces. These trainings are developed collaboratively and can be delivered as single sessions or multi-part series.
Case Consultations
Sometimes, a single client requires individualized support. Our one-hour case consultations are designed for service providers and clinicians who are supporting someone with a disability in navigating a specific sexuality or sexual health issue - and would benefit from the perspective of an experienced sexuality educator.
Case consultations are confidential, solution-focused, and grounded in best practices in both sexuality education and disability support. They're a space to think through a situation, explore options, and leave with a clearer path forward.
Consultations are appropriate for:
-
Direct support staff and case managers
-
Social workers and counselors
-
Program coordinators and supervisors
-
Anyone formally supporting a disabled individual with questions or needs related to sexual health or reproductive health
"Accessible Sexual Health was able to provide consultation and develop concrete, trauma-informed strategies for supporting healthy expressions of sexuality. Our front-line staff were thankful to have new language and tools to bring to families/providers of individuals who need this kind of support to access healthy sexuality and relationships."
- Eileen Slade, LCSW
