Primarily targeted at those working with young people our content is also suitable for those working with adults. Please see below for details on each session and how to book.

A session looking at making sex less taboo and easier to talk about. We are talking about sexual health! Not just sperms and germs, this module explores why people have sex, why they might not use contraception and might not have access to testing.
