Do you want to know more about contraception or how to keep yourself healthy in a relationship? Are you worried you worried about your sexual health or just want to find out more? Not sure how to talk to your children about sex and relationships? This section will help you find the answers.
Sexual health and contraception are important aspects of overall well-being. Practicing safe and responsible sexual behaviour helps prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Contraception offers a variety of methods, including birth control pills, condoms, and long-acting options like IUDs, which can be chosen based on individual needs and lifestyle. Open communication, education, and access to healthcare are key to making informed decisions about sexual health and ensuring that everyone can maintain healthy, respectful relationships.
The NHS Integrated Contraception and Sexual health service (iCASH) is local support where you can find answers to your questions, obtain contraceptives and testing kits for STIs. You can visit one of their clinics or call them on 0300 300 3030.
