Presented by Rachel Jacoby, Ph.D., LPCC-S (OH), NCC, CFLE, and Latoya Smith, Ph.D., LPC (TX)

Adolescence is a pivotal lifestage that encompasses significant changes in cognitive functioning and psychosocial development (Coker et al., 2022). One area of change for a teen may be their exploration of sexual health. Sex is common topic, frequently explored in social media, media, and in peer-relationships (Patterson et al., 2019).  As teens begin to explore their sexual desires and identity, it is crucial to account for the potential conversations about safety and access to safe resources (Koren, 2019; Patterson et al., 2019; Tuitt et al., 2020).
