Cultures, Borders and Sex: Supporting Immigrant Sexuality

Title of Event: Cultures, Borders and Sex: Supporting Immigrant Sexuality

Description of Event:

This presentation explores the complex intersections of sexuality, immigration, and cultural identity, with a focus on the lived experiences of immigrant and queer communities. Emphasizing the impact of immigration policy, acculturation, and systemic marginalization, the session offers clinical insights and practical tools for providing culturally competent, affirming care. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to navigate cultural nuance, advocate for sexual well-being, and support clients across borders and identities.

This event will be hosted via Zoom, with a closed caption typist and ASL interpreters present. The event will also be recorded and uploaded to a secure Proton Drive - the link will be available to registrants (along with the full event transcript) for 30 days following the live event.
