Relationships are not one-size-fits-all, and Black women are increasingly engaging in conversations about monogamy, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and other relationship structures. Regardless of relationship style, open communication, informed decision-making, and sexual health remain essential components of healthy partnerships.

This webinar explores the realities of navigating polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships while prioritizing HIV prevention, sexual health, trust, and personal boundaries. Participants will gain practical insights into communication strategies, risk reduction, relationship agreements, and self-advocacy while examining common myths and misconceptions surrounding poly relationships. Through a culturally responsive lens, this session aims to empower Black women to make informed decisions that support their health, wellness, and relationship goals.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Define polyamory and other forms of consensual non-monogamy and distinguish them from unhealthy relationship dynamics
• Discuss the role of communication, trust, and boundary-setting in maintaining healthy relationships
• Describe HIV prevention and sexual health strategies that support informed decision-making across relationship structures
• Identify approaches for advocating for personal needs, safety, and wellness within intimate relationships
