Brook delivers targeted programmes in a range of formats to support service users in a variety of communities. Through these programmes, we explore specific topics in detail, using informal education techniques and small group work. Sessions can include activities, reflective exercises, presentations, handouts, films, storytelling, and conversations with Brook staff.
Topics can include healthy relationships and boundaries, consent, puberty, masturbation, introduction to sex, contraception, pornography, gender and sexuality, sex and the law.
These sessions are aimed at service users and organisations working with the following groups:
Brook can attend events to provide information, guidance and advice on sexual and reproductive health, HIV prevention, and signposting to local services.

Our holistic approach to health promotion and outreach provision is designed to meet the needs of different audiences, including minority and at-risk groups, and provide consistent key messaging about sexual health and wellbeing.

Brook also offers a one-to-one support programme specifically for young people aged 11-18 called MyLife. People are referred based on agreed criteria: poor sexual health outcomes, gender and sexuality, healthy relationships and pregnancy choices. Once a referral has been made, we then deliver a short programme (4-6 weeks) tailored to meet specific needs of the person.
This is an accredited, guided learning programme for young people aged 18+ that involves completing four units of study with a Level 2 Award from Royal Society of Public Health. This course is ideal for young people with an interest in sexual health and wellbeing. The course will be delivered by Brook Education and Wellbeing Specialists, through both online and face to face sessions, and participants will be assessed based on a workbook or a portfolio.
