Diverse Populations ProgramOur diverse populations Program is focused on the sexual and identity health needs of marginalized sexual and gender-variant communities. We respect sexual diversity in all its forms, and offer a safe, inclusive and informed environment for all people, regardless of orientation, preference or behavioral expression. |
Our staff is sensitive to the specialized concerns of erotic minorities, atypical sexual or gender subcultures, BDSM and leather, sex workers, and other queer and kink populations. At The Institute for Sexual Health, we recognize how shame, stigma, marginalization, oppression and persecution can hinder the development of an integrated sexual identity. We recognize the importance of safety, self-determination and self-esteem in fostering healthy identity development.
ISH supports the parameters as set forth by the World Association of Sexology on Sexual Health as well as the ethical and guiding principles of the American Psychological Association.
