Let’s Talk about Sexual Health Literacy and Occupational Therapy
from OT JEDI · host Suzanne Rappaport
In this episode of OT JEDI, we explore a critical but often overlooked topic—sexual health literacy among older adults living with HIV. Joined by occupational therapists Riley David and Dr. Kathryn Burke, we dive into their pilot study evaluating occupation-based sexual health education programs. We discuss how knowledge, stigma, fear, and pleasure intersect in the lives of older adults, and how occupational therapy can play a key role in fostering safe, empowered, and fulfilling intimate experiences.ResourcesThe Network for LGBTQIA+ Concerns in Occupational Therapy | Queer HealthThe Capstone CollectiveFollow Dr. Burke on Instagram @otkate or find her at Johnson & Wales UniversityReferences David, R. & Burke, K.
