Celebrating Sexual Health Week 2022 in the classroom

As part of Sexual Health Week 2022, Brook is proud to once again be appearing in classrooms across the country to deliver another Big RSE Lesson Live. 

On 12 October at 10am, we’re inviting schools to join us for this free, one hour broadcast led by expert Brook educators. Aimed at young people in year 9 and above, the live lesson will explore this year’s Sexual Health Week theme of Breaking Barriers. 

Brook’s Head of Education, Becci Shutt says:

We know that young people can find it difficult to talk about topics that are personal or new.

A vital part of breaking down barriers is supporting young people to speak up if they need help, and prevent them isolating themselves from friends and family.  

Brook has been at the forefront of providing relationships and sex education (RSE) to young people for over 55 years. In this lesson, we’ll draw on our expertise to equip young people with the skills to:  

• recognise that it can be difficult to talk about some topics with peers, adults and professionals  
• identify some strategies for talking about topics they find difficult 
• understand that there are services to support them, and how they can access them 

Earlier this year we welcomed over 15,000 students to our Big RSE Lesson in celebration of LGBT+ History Month, and this session promises to be bigger than ever. For those unable to attend the live event, it is available for catch up on demand for 12 months. 

The Big RSE Lesson is one in a vibrant programme of events including a webinar exploring Breaking Barriers on 10 October and a live panel event in East London chaired by Brook Ambassador and Sex Educator Ruby Rare.
