The Sexuality and Disability Unit: Applications for Group Training (original) (raw)

Abstract

In 1976, the Sex and Disability Unit of UCSF's Human Sexuality Program received two three-year grants from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to train two specific population segments. The NIMH grant funded the development and training of a year-long socio-sexual, peer counselor-educator project in the field of sexuality and disability. The DHEW family life education training module targeted nationwide participants working with special education populations in a four-day workshop format. In this presentation I will discuss those two projects and necessity for the existence of such projects in the field of sexuality and disability today.
