Sexual Development

At Gillette, we understand our patients grow from childhood into adulthood. As patients develop into adults, they may encounter new physical, emotional, social or psychological challenges and needs. We are advocates for our patients, so they can recognize these development changes and be prepared for them.

We respect your family’s values and will be a trusted resource for guidance on this subject.

Our purpose is to provide factual information and services to our patients and their families. During rehabilitation after an injury, patients may show impaired judgment and reasoning skills. A teenager may have many questions about their future; including the ability to one day have a family

We understand sexual development is a life-long process and we want to be there for you and your family. All the members of the team, including the psychologist, physician, nurses and recreation specialist will be available now and in the future to provide information and consultation. At Gillette, we want to ensure patients have the best life possible, so please communicate any questions or concerns to your care team.
