The Sexual Health Network, Inc. (TSHN) is an Internet publishing and broadcasting company dedicated to providing easy access to information, education, counseling, specialized products, and other resources for people with disabilities, chronic conditions, or natural changes throughout the lifecycle and those who love them or care for them.TSHN was founded in 1996 by Dr. Mitchell Tepper, who suffered a spinal cord injury in 1982. At the time, it was extremely difficult for most people – especially people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or age-related physical changes – to access sexual health care from traditional sources. Healthcare professionals rarely received sexuality-related training and were often uncomfortable discussing sexual issues, so tended to ignore their patients’ sexual health concerns. This silence caused tremendous, unnecessary suffering. Dr. Tepper recognized that the World Wide Web was a means of meeting the need for high-quality, reputable sexuality information and education for both the professional and the consumer markets.
