The “M” Word; Education & Supports for Self-Stimulation
“I learned that there are ways to approach this topic while still being professional and staying within your comfort zone.”

Self-stimulation can be awkward and embarrassing to talk about, but it is also the safest expression of a person’s basic, biological sex drive. It is critical to learn how to talk about and support this private topic in a professional manner – whether in team meetings, with family members or support workers, or with the person you are working with.

Discuss family and personal values, as well as basic human needs
Introduce and talk more comfortably about body parts and behaviors
