Mize\, MA\, MEd\, LPC\, NCC \nFriday\, S eptember 18\, 2026 \n8am-10am PT / 10am-12pm CT / 11am-1pm ET \nEvent held online via Zoom\, link to access provided upon registration. \nCounselors \, regardless of specialty\, will likely need to engage in conversations a bout sexual health with clients at some point in their careers (Hipp & Car lson\, 2019). Counselors and mental health professionals alike are found t o be hesitant to engage in sexual health-related discussions with their cl ients (Bungener et a.\, 2022\; Hipp & Carlson\, 2019). The current literat ure notes various explanations\, including but not limited to developmenta l appropriateness concerns\, lack of knowledge or training\, and avoidance due to personal discomfort (Berry & Lezos\, 2017\; Cardona et al.\, 2022\ ; Hipp & Carlson\, 2019)\, which create risks of rupturing the therapeutic relationship\, missed opportunities for assessment and referral\, and\, i n turn\, potential client harm (Brammer & Goodrich\, 2022). This hesitancy is evident across counselor experience levels (Canvin et al.\, 2023). Eme rging research has demonstrated knowledge as an important factor in improv ing comfort with sexuality (Mize & Ausloos\, 2026). It is important for co unselors\, both generalist and specialized\, to understand the role of sex ual health and wellness in counseling practice (Pope et al.\, 2024). \nThe webinar will explore the role of sexual health conversations within couns eling practice and review current research related to counselor comfort\, knowledge\, and engagement with sexual health concerns. Ethical considerat ions and professional responsibilities related to addressing sexual health in counseling will also be discussed. Through case examples and reflectiv e activities\, attendees will examine factors that may facilitate or hinde r engagement in sexual health conversations and consider how these factors may influence client care and clinical decision-making. Practical strateg ies for initiating and navigating sexual health conversations in ethical\, inclusive\, and developmentally appropriate ways will be provided. \nZoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event regi stration.  \nThis program\, when attended in its entirety\, offers 2.0 CE s for Psychologists\, 2.0 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers\, 2.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs\, LPSWs\, and LMFTs\, 2.0 AASECT CEUs for Se x Educators\, Counselors\, and Therapists\, or 2.0 NBCC Clock Hours.
