These books and resources have been hand-picked by me over the course of my career as a Sexual Health Educator. I have used these resources myself, in classroom settings, small group sessions and with my one-on-one clients. A majority of these can be found at your local library. I know that finding accurate and up-to-date resources can be time consuming, so I have done the work for you! Please enjoy them as I have.
Best,
