Our vision is to improve the sexual health and wellbeing of people living in Blackburn with Darwen By delivering a prevention focused integrated sexual health service.
This integrated, all-age sexual health service aims to improve sexual health by delivering a range of interventions across the life course; improving education, prevention, testing, treatment and support services, building resilience and self-esteem, along with promoting healthy choices in response to a changing environment of sexual health and relationship needs.
Our Priorities:
- Continuing to reduce the number of new sexually transmitted infections amongst all ages.
- Increasing the rate of Chlamydia screenings amongst 15-24yrs olds.
- Increasing the Chlamydia detection rate amongst 15-24yr olds.
