Dating and Modern Relationships

Join from anywhere IN THE WORLD. ALL ARE welcome. 100% ONLINE CONFERENCE!

Join the Sexual Health Alliance (SHA) for a dynamic two-day training exploring the realities of dating, intimacy, attachment, and relationships in the modern world. As technology, social media, dating apps, shifting gender norms, and changing cultural expectations continue to reshape connection, professionals need updated frameworks for helping clients navigate modern relationships with clarity, confidence, and emotional intelligence.

This conference brings together leading voices in sexology, relationship science, psychology, communication, and modern dating culture to examine how people form connections today—and why so many struggle with intimacy, vulnerability, communication, boundaries, and long-term relational satisfaction.

Participants will explore evidence-based strategies for supporting clients through dating anxiety, attachment dynamics, desire discrepancies, relationship transitions, digital intimacy, modern communication challenges, and evolving relationship structures. Whether you work with individuals, couples, or communities, this event offers practical insights into the emotional and psychological realities shaping relationships today.

Open to all professionals and aspiring professionals.

Over these two days you will dive into:

• Modern dating culture, attachment dynamics, and how technology influences intimacy and connection

• Communication strategies for navigating boundaries, vulnerability, conflict, and emotional safety

• The psychology of attraction, desire, compatibility, and relationship satisfaction in contemporary relationships

• How dating apps, social media, and digital communication shape expectations, self-worth, and relational behavior

• Evidence-based approaches for supporting clients experiencing dating burnout, anxiety, rejection, loneliness, or relational confusion

• Emerging conversations around monogamy, consensual non-monogamy, situationships, emotional availability, and evolving relationship models

• Tools for helping clients build healthier relationships rooted in authenticity, communication, emotional regulation, and relational awareness

Designed for therapists, coaches, educators, clinicians, and sexual health professionals wanting to better understand the realities of modern intimacy and relationships
