No Shame in this Game was a featured presentation in the World STI & HIV Congress in Montreal, Canada.

Together with Dr. Ina Park, STI researcher, author, and anti-stigma advocate and Courtney Brame, founder and executive director of Something Positive for Positive People¸ a non-profit that produces a weekly podcast discussing a wealth of topics related to mental health and sexuality for those living with herpes simplex virus (HSV), we presented a 90-minute workshop that demonstrated the power of multimedia, filmmaking, and storytelling to diffuse STI stigma.

Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of the intersection of sexual health/mental health for people living with STIs and effective counseling messages that clinicans and educators can use for patients or clients living with HSV.
