A guiding tool to discussing sexual health with young people
Engaging with young people who have experienced trauma around the topic of sexual health poses unique and sometimes complex challenges.
It is important to engage young people with an experience of trauma, particularly those in Out of Home Care (OOHC) and justice services in sexual and reproductive health conversations. Through positive experiences of education and support, these young people can experience positive sexual health outcomes.
This resource aims to assist you in having discussions about sexual health with young people through a trauma informed lens. Use of trauma informed practice will reduce re-traumatisation of young people and foster positive outcomes for all. This booklet was developed in close consultation with, and input from, leading OOHC and trauma informed services, and organisations.
