In February 2024, Family Planning New Zealand changes its name to Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa. Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa runs 30 permanent clinics which offer a range of sexual and reproductive health services, including contraceptive advice and prescriptions, insertion of contraceptive implants and intra uterine devices, testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, pregnancy testing and advice, and cervical screening. Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa provides early medical abortion at two of its clinics. We also provide clinical training and development courses for doctors, nurses, midwives and other health professionals.   We also run schools-based clinics, predominantly in high needs areas, and its health promoters operate out of 15 locations across the country. The health promoters work with schools, parents, and caregivers to lead courses on sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Since sexuality education became a compulsory component of the health curriculum in New Zealand schools in 2001, Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa has developed a range of curriculum aligned teaching resources and courses to support teachers and school staff to deliver effective SRH lessons.  The organisation plays a key role in advocating at national and international level for legislative change to promote the right to control SRH as a fundamental human right. It is the secretariat for the New Zealand Parliamentarians Group on Population and Development, where the organisation’s expertise in delivering services to answer people’s SRH needs provides a practical grounding for policy improvements.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/swaotearoa/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sexualwellbeingaotearoa TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sexualwellbeingaotearoa LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sexualwellbeingaotearoa

Brook is a national charity supporting people with their sexual health and wellbeing. Founded by Helen Brook in 1964, Brook blazed a trail by empowering unmarried women to take charge of their sexual health at a time when it was deemed controversial. Despite fierce opposition, Helen Brook refused to let stigma stand in the way of what was needed. Today, Brook is proud to continue in Helen Brook’s pioneering footsteps by providing high quality, holistic sexual health and wellbeing services. Brook’s vision is that everyone is supported to live healthy lives, free from inequality and strengthened by fulfilling relationships. The charity’s unique offer combines face-to-face and digital clinical services for people of all ages, early intervention mental health and wellbeing support for young people, relationships and sex education in schools, training and consultancy for educators, outreach in local communities, and policy and advocacy.   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/brook X: https://twitter.com/BrookCharity YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/BrookCharity Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrookCharityYP
