Men's Sexual Health Groups Stephen runs an ongoing Men’s Sexual Health Group on Monday nights. He will be starting a new group in 2024 (day and time to be determined). All groups meet online via Zoom. This enables men in different counties in New York State to participate, as well as from New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida. The groups are slightly under an hour and a half in length and provide clinical help and mutual support.
Using a sexual health model, the group provides education and a deeper understanding of sexuality, tools for change, and mutual support and sharing. The goal is to help each member develop a sexual life that is pleasurable and compatible with their values and life goals.
Areas covered in the group include: how to develop a Sexual Health Plan and Vision of Sexual Health, assessing ambivalence, methods of self-regulation (somatic, cognitive, behavioral), how we learned about our sexuality, stages of change, influence of early trauma and/or shame, communication about sex with relationship and sexual partners, and other related topics.
Online interviews and screening assessments are required.
