Relationships and Sexual Health

Playing It Safe...

So the summer is on its way and a great time for friends to get together and have fun in the sun. For many this is a happy and enjoyable time of the year and for many the season for new friendships and relationships to blossom.

Relationships are fun and we know that a good relationship is when you are happy and comfortable and can truly say that you are friends.

Remember take it slow, talk a lot with your partner and most importantly listen to your feelings. But if you decide that you want to take the next step, what can you do to make sure that you have a fun filled time without any tears?

There are many clinics around where you can get free and confidential help and advice, be tested for STIs, get contraception for you and your partner, receive emotional and relationship support.

Remember that staff at these clinics are fully trained and really friendly and will never judge you, they will just be really impressed that you are taking responsibility for your health. They never ask you embarrassing questions at reception or in front of other people and everything you say is confidential.

To find your nearest clinic visit the RU Thinking Website (see below) or click on the Vital Digits Link that will give you information and numbers on different services across Lambeth. You can also call Sex wise 7 days a week from 7am - Midnight on 0800 28 29 30.
