The Wayne State University School of Medicine Office of Faculty Affairs & Professional Development welcomes all members of our community to join us for a Special Interactive Discussion:"Between Me & You(th): The Importance of Cultural Humanity, Intersectionality and Sex Positivity in Youth Healthcare" This is part two in our webinar series on the importance of including sexuality and sex positivity as part of routine primary care. When: Thursday, January 14, 2021 Time: 12 - 1 p.m. More frequently, service and healthcare providers are recognizing the importance of cultural competincy/cultural humanity when it comes to providing care for diverse populations. However, many of us still struggle with understanding how adultism (the marginalization of youth) shows up in our work and impacts our ability to deliver safe, effective, affirming and inclusive care for young people. The data shows us that it's more critical than ever that we understand how a lack of youth-friendly/affirming approaches and failure to factor in intersections of race, gender, identity, orientation, class and ability harm young people and impact their access to quality care. This webinar will explore ways we can reduce disparity, dismantle barriers and improve health outcomes for youth by implementing practices and policies that are youth-friendly, youth-affirming and sex-positive.
