Much of the drive for sexual expression stems from these two basic needs: skin hunger (the need for nurturing, loving touch) and wanting to feel included and cared about. We can help many individuals reduce unsafe and unhealthy behaviors regarding sexual expression by helping them feel genuinely cared for and offering them platonic touch. This workshop will teach you practical skills for how to offer these critical elements to the individuals you serve, including games and activities, as well as information about how to set boundaries and change no-touch policies.
