This year, Sexual Health Week takes place between the 9th and 15th September. The goal of Sexual Health Week is to promote sexual health and relationships and to raise awareness about the available training and support. Brooks believes that everyone should be able to access sexual health and wellbeing services in ways that best suit them but the reality is that too many people face barriers when it comes to finding evidence based, inclusive and non-judgmental support. That’s why for Sexual Health Week, they aim to amplify the voices of those who face access barriers and shine a light on the important work that Brook, partners and sector experts are doing to address health inequalities.
