The 3rd Sexual Health and Wellness Expo on Saturday, February 25 is in person for the first time and free

LARGO, MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, February 9, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Heart to Hand, a community-based health and wellness nonprofit in Largo, invites Generation Z and Millennial adults living in Prince George’s County, Maryland to “Sexual Healing: Mind, Body and Soul” on Saturday, February 25 from 10 am – 2 pm at the College Park Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. It is their 3rd annual Sexual Health and Wellness Expo and for the first time, it will be in person and include both men and women.

This year’s free expo, part of the Sexual Health in Everything campaign, will expand beyond sexual health to also include mental health and overall health. “Sexual Healing: Mind, Body and Soul” will have real talk with sessions for men only and women only; experts on sexual and mental health; local influencers; giveaways; music and a vendor showcase. It will be laid back but fun and festive.

“Sexual Healing is an important event for Prince George’s County,” says Jerry Washington, the event organizer and Linkage to Care Navigator at Heart to Hand. “Can learning about safe sex, emotional well-being and pleasure be fun? Yes, of course. But we created the expo to ensure Gen Z’s and Millennials in the county have accurate information to make decisions about their minds, bodies, and relationships.” He continues, “The choices they make now could affect them for years.”

Sharing information about safe sex is important in communities of color where sexually transmitted infections continue to rise, especially among teens and young adults. According to a CDC report, “In 2020, 32% of all cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and P&S syphilis were among non-Hispanic Black persons, even though they made up only approximately 12% of the US population.” Anne Wiseman, Deputy Director at Heart to Hand says, “We see young adults in our office all the time who are having a good time yet making decision after decision with incorrect information that can jeopardize their health. The expo is an engaging way to get their questions answered and provide access to industry experts in a fun, laid-back environment.” She continues, “Knowledge empowers them.”

“Sexual Healing: Mind, Body and Soul” is free, but registration is required to attend. Seats are limited. To register now or get more information, go to the event website at bit.ly/sexualhealingexpo.
