Empowering Sexual Health Education: Latina-Owned and Founded, Instructors that Resonate with You, Latinx and BIPOC-Focused
GAIN KNOWLEDGE. BUILD CONFIDENCE. DEVELOP SKILLS.

Empower Yourself to Lead Confident Discussions on Sexual Health with Our Latinx and BIPOC-Focused Program

In Latinx and BIPOC communities, discussions about sex and sexuality often remain veiled in silence, perpetuating a lack of dialogue around sexual health concerns. The demand for Certified Sex Therapists, Educators, and Counselors is substantial within our communities, yet access to these roles remains restricted, exacerbating inequalities.

At The Sexual Health School, we strive to break this cycle by equipping you with a comprehensive understanding of human sexuality and sexual health. We firmly believe that knowledge is the key to empowerment. By arming you with the tools to navigate the complexities of sexual health, we empower you to assist individuals from all walks of life.

When you choose The Sexual Health School, you're not just investing in your own professional growth. You're also contributing to the collective effort to bridge the gap and make sexual health services accessible and inclusive for all. Join us today and be part of the movement towards a healthier, more informed future.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower Latinx and BIPOC aspiring and experienced sex therapists, counselors, and educators through comprehensive continuing education and certification programs. At TSHS, you are taught by speakers who look like you, providing a sense of belonging and community. With our focused support and resources, we strive to cultivate a diverse and inclusive environment where individuals can flourish in the field of sexual health.

Our Vision

Our vision is to imagine a future where aspiring and experienced professionals from Latinx and BIPOC communities have unfettered access to top-tier training, resources, and support. We envision a landscape where barriers are dismantled, and opportunities are abundant for individuals to excel in their chosen paths. It's a future where diversity is celebrated, and inclusion is the norm, allowing for the full potential of each individual to be realized. Through our dedicated efforts, we strive to create an environment where Latinx and BIPOC individuals feel empowered to pursue their passion and contribute meaningfully to the field of sexual health.

We aim to educate aspiring sexual health professionals who represent the communities they serve.

our story

Meet Dr. Janet Brito, the founder of The Sexual Health School

Write your awesome label here.
Like many Latinx folks, I didn’t grow up talking about sex. It was a taboo subject. For many years, I felt shame about my own sexuality and didn’t know where to turn.

It wasn’t until I enrolled in the Sexual Health Certificate Program at the University of Michigan that things started to change. I learned about the diversity of human sexuality, which helped me begin to come into my own. And for the first time, I felt free.

I began pursuing sex therapy training at the Program in Human Sexuality, now known as the Institute for Sexual and Gender Health (ISGH) at the University of Minnesota, but even in a generally open-minded landscape, I struggled to find a sense of belonging. Representation was lacking, and I often felt discouraged. However, I was determined to overcome that obstacle and create a sex-positive community for myself and others facing similar challenges. 

Drawing from my experience in the sexual health field, I founded The Sexual Health School, a continuing education hub and certification program taught by predominately Latinx and BIPOC  instructors, for those seeking a safe space where they can come as themselves.   

I’m on a mission to build a sex-positive world. Come join me.

At The Sexual Health School, we are devoted to fostering and advocating for our core tenets:
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity

Rooted in our values lies a profound reverence for diversity and an unwavering dedication to representation. We embrace and celebrate intersectionality, welcoming students from diverse cultural backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, educational backgrounds, abilities, socioeconomic status, and relational statuses with open arms.

Equity

Underrepresented ethnic groups, especially in the realm of human sexuality and sexual health education, often confront significant hurdles in accessing resources and support. Our mission is to confront this challenge directly by championing fair and equitable processes that guarantee the equal distribution of services.

Inclusion

We firmly believe that inclusivity fortifies our community, elevates our dialogues, and elevates the caliber of our program. Our commitment is unwavering in providing equal opportunities, respect, and support to all participants, regardless of their background. We are devoted to fostering a space where every voice is not only heard but valued. Together, we endeavor to pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future in the realm of sexual health.
