Special Issue Call for Papers

Bridging the Gap: Advancing Comprehensive Sexual Health Education from the Classroom to the Clinic

The Journal of Counseling Sexology and Sexual Wellness (JCSSW) invites submissions for a special issue focused on the continuum between early sexual health education and advanced training for helping professionals.

As conversations around sexuality continue to evolve culturally, ethically, and developmentally, there is a growing need for integrated, evidence-informed approaches that span the lifespan. This special issue seeks scholarship that bridges K–12 comprehensive sexual health education with graduate training and clinical practice in counseling and related helping professions.

We welcome submissions that examine how developmentally appropriate, inclusive, and values-aware education can support healthier adult relationships, improved mental health outcomes, and more effective, ethical clinical care. We are especially interested in work that addresses training gaps, clinician and educator discomfort, cultural responsiveness, and sex-positive, trauma-informed approaches across the lifespan.

Topics of Interest Include:

• Curriculum development and evaluation for K–12 comprehensive sex education
• Barriers to inclusive and affirming sex education in school systems
• Training gaps and competencies in graduate-level helping professions
• Developmentally appropriate approaches to sexuality education across systems
• Collaboration between educators, families, clinicians, and healthcare professionals
• Sexuality across the lifespan and implications for clinical training and practice
• Addressing educator and clinician discomfort, bias, and avoidance
• Cultural, ethical, and policy considerations in sexuality education
• Integration of trauma-informed and sex-positive frameworks
• Innovations in pedagogy for counselor education and supervision related to sexuality

JCSSW welcomes empirical research, conceptual and theoretical manuscripts, practice-focused articles, and pedagogical or supervision innovations.
