Aging and Sexuality (#304)

Development of this simulation was supported by a grant from the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation.

An aging woman rediscovers her sexuality with a new partner and has to resolve the conflict between her traditional upbringing and the new directions her life is taking.

• Establishing rapport 
• Developing trust 
• Conveying understanding 
• Maintaining objectivity 
• Awareness of personal bias

Irene Beckett has been attending a support group for women who are dealing with issues of aging and sexuality. She has requested a one-on-one meeting with a professional to discuss some things that she is currently struggling with.
