Course Purpose
This course equips clinicians to navigate ethically complex sexual topics with confidence and integrity. Participants gain practical frameworks for holding complexity without avoidance, overreach, or harm, supporting both client wellbeing and clinician integrity.
Ethics Credit Alignment: This course addresses ethical risk, clinical decision-making, and bias mitigation in sex-positive practice. Content aligns with core ethical principles, scope of practice, cultural responsiveness, and professional responsibility, preparing clinicians to manage ethical tension, reduce harm, and apply structured ethical decision-making models in real-world clinical scenarios.

Why This Course Matters
Sexual concerns sit at the intersection of vulnerability, identity, power, and culture. Without intentional frameworks, ethical risk increases for clients and clinicians alike. This course provides depth, integration, and long-term clinical usefulness to help clinicians feel more grounded, clients feel safer and more affirmed, and therapeutic work remain ethically sound.
