Bridging the Gap:
A Community Networking Event
for Mental Health Professionals & Kink-Affirming Educators and Allies

Are you a mental health professional, student, educator, researcher, or simply someone who wants to better understand kink and BDSM?

Join us for an open, inclusive, and judgment-free networking event designed to bring together clinicians, community members, and minds curious about psychology, healing, and alternative sexualities.

This event offers an informal space to:

  • Connect with like-minded professionals and allies

  • Learn about kink-affirming therapeutic approaches

  • Ask questions in a low-pressure environment

  • Share resources, referrals, and practices that affirm diverse identities and desires

  • Explore how clinical work and community-based knowledge can inform each other

Whether you're a seasoned sex therapist, a psychology student trying to de-pathologize your textbooks, or someone in the community interested in shaping more informed mental health care? You’re more than welcome here.

Who’s this for?

  • Therapists, counselors, social workers, and psychologists

  • Medical and mental health students

  • Coaches, bodyworkers, educators, and peer support workers

  • Kink community members invested in shifting how care looks

  • Anyone interested in building bridges between mental health and kink
