Making It Work!

This section is designed to help you find ways to apply the content of this module to your everyday work.

1. Improving Your Service. Hold client case-review sessions periodically and identify “missed opportunities” for exploring sexuality issues pertinent to providing comprehensive care. Discuss strategies for maximizing the next client visit. Identify opportunities that were taken to incorporate sexuality into the care given and share the outcomes.
2. Tips and Educational Activities. Prepare unit update sessions by asking staff members to anonymously list their thoughts, questions, and feelings about sexuality in relation to the situations covered in this module, as well as situations that they encounter in their work, their community, or their life. Hold update sessions covering this content.
3. Educational Aids. The following materials, optimized for printing, can be used in conducting staff education or client counseling:
   • Mastectomy
   • Hysterectomy
   • Prostate disease
   • Female genital cutting (FGC)
   • Male circumcision
   • Sociosexual development through the life cycle
   • Stages of female and male sexual development
