Our UConn Sexperts are trained to provide education, support, and connection to resources on and off-campus on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sex, sexual health, and relationships.
Mondays: 11:00am-4:00pm Tuesdays: 3:00pm-6:30pm Wednesdays: 10:30am-6:30pm Thursdays: 3:30pm-6:30pm Fridays: 10:30am-5:00pm
UConn Sexperts (and supervising staff) are designated confidential employees under UConn’s Title IX Reporting Obligations. Peer support sessions are for educational and support purposes only. Peer support visits are not on-call or emergency services, and are not for individualized medical advice, nor are they counseling or therapy.
