Health Promotion
We're Aotearoa’s leading provider of sexual and reproductive health promotion and education services.

It’s important for conversations about sexual and reproductive health to happen between tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau — in communities, in schools, and in their homes.
Helping people at our clinics is one part of our work. Another part of our work is helping people learn about sexuality, relationships, health, and wellbeing.
We work with schools, parents, rangatahi, special interest groups, community groups, professionals, and more. Anyone who wants to learn about — or teach other people about — sexuality, relationships, health, and wellbeing should get in touch with us. We have lots of helpful resources, experts, and strategies for learning. -

Our approach
-
We can help you have important conversations with the rangatahi and tamariki in your life.
It’s good for tamariki to learn the correct names of their body parts — and begin to identify important relationships and safe people in their lives. When rangatahi are high school age, you can have conversations with them about sex, sexuality, consent, and relationships.
Our approach is based on up-to-date research and experience working all over the motu. Our community health promoters will work alongside you to support your local initiatives.
