Sex, relationships, and identity mentoring and group work

About this service

An early intervention programme providing sex, relationships and identity related mentoring for young people. The service takes a holistic view of sex and relationship education, delivering practical health information, and recognises that issues around sex and relationships can be linked to much broader aspects of a person, like their identity and attitude.

Our one-to-one work is delivered either in-person and can be delivered in a range of locations. They typically run for 45 minute to an hour session delivered over six to eight weeks.

Our group work is delivered in collaboration with the referring agency and can run for between four and eight weeks. These sessions are conversation-based for groups of up to 10 young people.

Who can use this service?

All young people aged 13-19 living in Greenwich.
