Brook delivers a blended model of free full and half-day training sessions to professionals who work in Southend-on-Sea. We aim to improve knowledge, skills and attitudes on key topics and concerns associated with sexual health such as HIV, sex working and Mandatory RSE, among others.
Our Health Promotion Specialists can deliver a limited amount of RSE assemblies in schools located in areas where there are relatively higher levels of teenage pregnancies and STI prevalence. Our school assemblies promote STI testing and contraception as well as general good sexual health.
In addition, we will promote and utilise our Brook RSE@HOME brand to target parents and foster carers in Southend, to support the delivery of Relationship and Sex Education in the home.
We offer free rapid HIV testing and other STI testing at community venues such as local libraries, the Civic centre and at local foodbanks. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter or email us for more information or if you require this service within your setting.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who live or work in Southend-on-Sea to become Community Champions.
