Inclusive Infographic for Sexual Positioning Post-Joint Replacement
Many times we have lamented and noted that patient educational handouts rarely show variety in race, gender expression, bodies, and sexual orientation and that they tend to be white, cisgender and heteronormative. This becomes even more problematic for sexuality handouts as these occupations involve our bodies, other bodies, and those we love and care most about, as well as, the need to navigate body image and stigma.
But the trailblazer, Jennifer Hutchinson (they/them), had an answer.
Jennifer combined their occupational therapy skills and mission to promote social justice with the talent of a self-identified Queer artist to develop an inclusive handout and infographic for sexual positioning post-joint replacement. The soon-to-be Dr. Hutchinson is also a graduate of The Institute for Sex, Intimacy, & Occupational Therapy's Program Development Group Coaching Summer 2019 Cohort, so I am particularly tickled pink at the work they are already doing to create major change and access to resources. We will be hearing and seeing more from them for sure!
Check out Jennifer's website where you can access this handout and start using with your clients.
Additionally, I've added this resource to my curated resources section on the website!
