The SAGE Center for Sexual Wellness and Aging provides holistic, age-competent sexual wellness education (including wellness education for long-term HIV survivors) targeted to LGBTQ+ elders, with a focus on serving the specific sexual health needs of the underserved communities of transgender elders and elders of color. The Center facilitates accessible programs and educational resources that focus on LGBTQ+ experiences of sex and aging, promoting conversations about health, safety, consent, boundaries, intimacy, and pleasure.
