Sexual Health Rights are Basic Human Rights
Our Social-Sexual Support Services
We help address the needs of people with disabilities and disorders who do not always know how to advocate for themselves, and we partner with the families and professionals who support them day in and day out. We look forward to collaborating with you so you can best serve the people you care for with passion and dedication!
From the World Health Organization website:
“[Sexual health is] a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. “
“For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled.”
“Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.”
