This is not a topic that anyone is that comfortable talking about, but it can hugely affect a man’s
confidence and impact his relationships.

When ED impacts a relationship, both partners feel it.
In this live webinar on Wednesday 19 November at 4PM AWST, I’ll be joined by my colleague and Nurse Practitioner Kate Ternahan for a deeply honest conversation about how erectile dysfunction affects not just men, but their partners too.

We’ll be speaking with a woman from Victoria who supported her partner through ED—and went on to start a support group for others in similar situations.

Together, we’ll talk about:
– The emotional and relational challenges ED can bring
– How to communicate and stay connected through it
– Why support and shared understanding matter so much

If you’re a partner, or supporting someone through ED, this is for you. You are not alone.
