Training for specialist professionals working directly with young people accessing the eC-Card
About this Event

THT work on the frontline delivering sexual health promotion in a variety of settings, relationships and sexual health education to young people and educators supporting young people, and offer rapid HIV testing within the community.

The eC-Card programme provides access to free condoms for young people in Essex aged 16 – 24.

This session is designed for professionals working with young people who are, or are considering becoming, sexually active.

eC-Card training provides an overview of current sexual health issues affecting young people and addresses how to conduct an effective sexual health consultation, using the platform to talk about healthy relationships and sex. Attendees will look at how to apply Fraser Guidelines effectively, how to signpost into Sexual Health Services, and give them the information they need to become an eC-Card assessor.
