Who We Are

This program has been going strong for over 20 years. With an original focus on criminal justice and sexuality, we have longstanding partnerships with community and state partners across Pennsylvania. We work closely with the PA Office of Developmental Programs and helped create the 2018 “Sexual Health, Personal Relationships, and Sexuality Guidelines,” a guiding document for programs across PA.

In 2022, the Healthy Sexuality project joined the Institute's Health Equity team. We see sexuality as an important part of people’s health. We focus on providing comprehensive sexuality education for people with disabilities and their supporters.

Prioritizing a Safe Environment

The Healthy Sexuality Project acknowledges and respects the many intersecting identities of the disability community.

We prioritize creating a safe environment for people to explore new ideas. Embracing intersectionality strengthens our goals to create safe and inclusive environments for all.
