Sexual Integrity Program Essentials

 In Spring 2024, Heartbeat will be releasing the new Women’s Sexual Wellness Handbook. Created with Dr. Joe Malone, PhD, CPT, LWMC, CFE, SRAS, this handbook is designed to equip both you and your team with the cutting-edge science on sexuality in a scientifically rooted way and equip young women to better understand and self-manage their sexual behavior. Unlike our Sexual Integrity Program, it is not a program manual. Rather, it contains specifically documented content that can help you design talking points (and perhaps your own programs) both in and out of your pregnancy help organization to share live-giving truths with scientific backing. If you would like any more information or want to be put on a waiting list for the Women’s Sexual Wellness Handbook, please email support@heartbeatinternational.org.

The Sexual Integrity™ Essentials Manual includes:

• -The philosophy and methodology of the program.
• -Procedures to use with both positive and negative test clients.
• -Forms, charts and special relationship assessment tools to use with clients.
• -An overview of additional resources for you to consider and some guidelines to use when selecting additional resources.

The goal of Sexual Integrity Program Essentials© is to equip you to build your own Sexual Integrity Program©, customized to the needs of your center. In the first half of the manual, you will find training for your center on the basic, core concepts of SIP: what sexual integrity is, what it means, and the different dimensions (or pillars) we have to express our gift of sexuality. As you consider how to implement SIP in your center, please reference the manual’s appendix, which includes questionnaires, surveys and a listing of additional suggested resources.
