Sexual Health Promotion aims to improve the positive sexual health of the population of Forth Valley and to reduce inequalities in sexual health.
We work with third sector, local authority and NHS partners taking a partnership working approach to build capacity in a range of organisations to enable them to positively influence the sexual health of the people they provide services for.
We use various techniques such as providing information, staff training and development, conducting research and needs assessment or developing staff policy and guidance.
Our work is aligned to meet the outcomes of the National Strategy for Sexual Health and Blood Borne Viruses and The Pregnancy, Parenthood and Young People Strategy:
- Providing Free Condoms to those who most need them
- Facilitating Learning and Education for Staff
- Public Information and Communication
