Community Grants of up to $400 are available to community agencies and groups who engage young adults aged 18 – 30.

To celebrate Sexual Health Awareness Week 2011, SHine SA is running a Community Grants program to increase young adults’ awareness of their choices in contraception.

Sexual Health Awareness Week (14–21 February) aims to increase awareness of sexual health and encourage South Australian communities to start talking openly about relationships and sexuality.

Think outside of the square and plan events that use a creative approach to health promotion. See here for more information or check out www.shinesa.org.au.

A CD-based resource has been produced to assist workers and parents to assess knowledge and teach the rules about sexual behaviour and strategies for sexual safety and improved relationships.

The CD will only be available to individuals who have undergone a training module with SHine SA. Training dates this year are 17 and 24 November, with further dates next year.

Full details about the CD and course can be found here.

The course registration form can be found here.

This kit from the UK is available for free. It contains a range of learning activities and images to support basic messages about rights and responsibilities. It does contain references to some other resources which may not be available but their equivalents may be found in the SHineSA Library and resource Centre.
