Sexual health concerns often benefit from multidisciplinary treatment and care collaboration. This panel discussion will provide varied perspectives on common sexuality concerns from the lens of a medical doctor, a pelvic health physical therapist, a sex therapist, and a sexuality educator. We will discuss the ways we collaborate with colleagues to help individuals with a variety of sexual health concerns including challenges with erections and/or ejaculation, dyspareunia, vaginismus, libido concerns, anorgasmia, STI prevention and care, gender transition care and more.

Intended Audience: Educators, Counselors, Therapists, Medical Professionals
