About this service
An early intervention programme providing sex, relationships and identity related mentoring and small group work for young people. The service takes a holistic approach, recognising that sex and relationships are linked to identity, wellbeing, communication and confidence - not just physical health.
Our group work is delivered in collaboration with the school or referring professional, over 4-6 weeks, for up to 10 young people, with a tailored sex and relationships programme focusing on confidence, communication and resilience.
One-to-one mentoring is delivered in person or online, typically over 6-8 weekly sessions, tailored to individual needs.
