If you want to know what six fundamentals of sexual health are essential for every couple to safely find and sustain love, then this Learn-At-Lunch is for you.

Douglas Braun-Harvey bridges sexual and mental health within the day-to-day life of men and women of all sexual orientations. When couples avoid, fear, or ignore sexual health fundamentals, they inadvertently fall into a pattern of sexual non-disclosure, and additional problems may emerge at times of crisis or illness. Mr. Braun-Harvey will help you integrate sexual health principles and conversations early and often within your relationships. Integrating fundamentals of sexual health creates an opportunity for couples to develop and sustain eroticism, and love while learning about their own vision for sexual health.

He is the author of "Sexual Health in Drug and Alcohol Treatment: A group facilitation manual," as well as several journal articles, and his book "Sexual Health in Recovery" will be published in 2010.
