Research over the past decade has demonstrated that Community inclusion and participation in the domain of Romance/Intimacy is an essential aspect to our overall health and sense of well-being. “The desire to enter into emotionally satisfying and sexually intimate relationships and to maintain such relationships underpins adult human experience” (https://tucollaborative.org/). However, there are too few environments and supports for us to discuss and explore our opportunities, rights and action plans for participation.
Join us for an experiential peer-facilitated exploration on the diverse and fun ways to enrich romance and intimacy in our lives.
Romance and Intimacy is key domain of community inclusion. This workshop combines the research and resources developed through our partners at the TU Collaborative and the co-facilitation and experiential application of the Copeland Center for Wellness & Recovery’s peer community.
Participants registering for this session or interested in this session are encouraged to access the TU Collaborative resource Addressing The Intimacy Interests of People with Mental Health Conditions: Acknowledging Consumer Desires, Provider Discomforts, and System Denial
Through this brief members workshop participants will:
1. Describe multiple and new perspective on romance, sex, and intimacy
2. Identify connections between romance, sex, intimacy and overall health and wellbeing
3. Apply peer support values and ethics to explore healthy participation in the community inclusion domain of romance, sex and intimacy
