Health
Why the fuss about mental health? Well, how we feel and think is central to the
way we live our lives. When we talk about mental health, we mean our ability to
enjoy life and cope with its challenges. However, many things can make us feel down...
Sexual Health
Sexual health involves many things, including: knowing about your body and how it
works; understanding the physical, social and emotional changes that come with puberty,
pregnancy and ageing; keeping yourself and others safe; and finding information
and support when things go wrong, such as an unplanned pregnancy or sexually transmitted
infection.
Who can you speak to?
If you need to know something about sexual health or need advice on a sexual health
matter, you could try talking to someone "maybe your parents, guidance teacher,
your doctor (GP) or the school nurse.
You could also speak to someone at a sexual health clinic. You can make an appointment
at your nearest clinic by calling the NHS Sexual Health Department on 01292 323228.
Where else can you get help or advice?
If you don't want to talk to anyone about sexual health but need information, you
could try your local library or the internet.
