LIFE's SPECTRUM SURVEY FOR WOMEN WHO PARTNER WITH WOMEN

LIFE's SPECTRUM SURVEY FOR WOMEN WHO PARTNER WITH WOMEN
As part of the process of developing a special program to respond to community needs, SunServe held a focus group of women who partner with women. We wanted to understand their experiences of aging, sex and intimacy.

Listed below are some observations and concerns expressed in the focus group. Now we are seeking your input to help us gain further knowledge about community needs. Tell us how much each statement describes your experience of aging, sex and intimacy.

Your input will help us establish a community service program for women that is truly relevant, timely and desired
