Kristin Hodson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and prominent voice on the topic of sexual health in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints community.
[1] Her work as a therapist and an advocate have challenged long-held values and norms, like the 'premarital exam', among more traditional people in Utah and among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
[2] Hodson's research includes maternal mental health, LGBT Mormon community, pornography, postpartum depression, and healthy sexuality.
[6][7] Hodson has lobbied Utah legislative sessions for more public-school sex education, making the curriculum opt-out instead of opt-in - the state’s official policy is abstinence.
She has also contributed to the Huffington Post Live, National Public Radio, MTV, RadioWest, Studio5, The Deseret News, and The Salt Lake Tribune.
