Sexual identity, intimacy, and emotional connection are vital aspects of wellbeing, yet often remain neglected in care conversations. This session challenges occupational therapists to break down barriers and support clients in exploring and maintaining their sexual health, self-esteem, and social relationships. We’ll explore how intimate connection, self-expression, and emotional closeness can enhance mental and physical wellbeing, while showcasing Laybrook Care’s innovative reinforced bed, designed to combine clinical functionality with dignity, comfort, and support for intimacy and personal identity.
