In this course, we introduce Aotearoa’s largest national provider of sexual  and reproductive health services, Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa. We then explore what sexual health and  wellbeing is and look at different stages of sexuality across age groups. 

 This course provides foundational knowledge and information about sexual wellbeing for professionals who work with young people. This course can be accessed by a range of professions who will use it in different contexts (education, health and social sectors). For example: 

• A teacher may complete this course before running sexuality education as part of their curriculum.  
• A social worker may complete this course to upskill in what sexual wellbeing encompasses, so they feel better prepared to advocate for a client’s sexual wellbeing within a health service.   
•  A counsellor may complete this course to best understand sexuality when working with young people in a one-on-one therapeutic environment.   
• A youth worker may complete this course to best understand sexual wellbeing before running a youth development programme.   

This course is provided at no-cost to people who work with young people and rangatahi in Aotearoa.   

This course is not available to people who don’t work with young people in Aotearoa. If you fall outside of this criterion and would like to register your interest, please email HPAdmin@sexualwellbeing.org.nz with details of your organisation and the course you would like to access.  

This course is part of a series, these can be completed chronologically or stand alone.
