STDs/STIs Training and Resources

The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) epidemic continues to threaten the health of individuals and communities on a national and international level. This critical issue is largely misunderstood by the people most at risk. Educators and clinicians have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to ensure their students and clients understand both the severity of the risks and their susceptibility to them. 

Beacon has an updated online training course- “STDs/STIs- Basic Training for Educators and Clinicians.” The 80-minute course presents current information on eleven STDs, their symptoms and health complications, risks with pregnancy, testing and treatment, and applications for prevention.

"Following a comprehensive evaluation, I am pleased to recommend Beacon Health Education Resources’ new online course, STDs/STIs: Basic Training for Educators and Clinicians. This program provides a systematic and evidence-based overview of prevalent STDs, preparing educators and healthcare professionals with competencies in identification, symptom recognition, current treatment protocols, and preventive strategies. The course serves as a valuable tool for individuals aiming to advance their expertise in STD education and clinical care."

"The presentation was professional, and the visuals were tactfully created. Overall, it was a great learning experience and we at The Open Door and our Impact Youth Services would highly recommend this STI Course to any individual, group or entity seeking to further educate themselves regarding STDs."
