Build trust. Minimize stigma. Transform care.

Herpes stigma isn’t just a public issue, it’s a clinical one. At Something Positive for Positive People (SPFPP), we provide stigma-informed training for:

  • Medical schools and health clinics

  • Therapy practices and mental health programs

  • Colleges and sex education programs

  • Public health departments and DIS teams

What We Teach

Our workshops and trainings help providers:

  • Deliver herpes diagnoses without reinforcing shame

  • Understand how stigma impacts patient trust and engagement

  • Use language that affirms, not reduces

  • Center presence over performance in care conversations

Whether virtual or in-person, every training is customized for your team’s needs.

“Courtney created one of the most impactful trainings we’ve ever received. Our team left equipped, energized, and more confident navigating STI stigma in our work.”
