In It Together: Navigating Depression with the People We Love

Inspired by JoEllen’s books The Monster Under the Bed: Sex, Depression, and the Conversations We Aren’t Having and In It Together: Navigating Depression with Partners, Friends, and Family, this workshop explores the possible impact of depressions on relationships and sexual function and what keeps us from effectively addressing it. Get ready to look at reasons, explore solutions, challenge widely-held beliefs, and offer concrete strategies for navigating depression in your sex lives and relationships.

This class is being presented as part of Southwest Love Fest, an annual conference on relationships, identity, community & non monogamy that will be held in Tucson, AZ on April 14-16th, 2023. While this is an in-person event, it is also being offered virtually via Zoom.
