It's sexual health week

Hi

You might see some stories in the media or on social media this week as it's sexual heath week.

Sex and relationships can be an awkward thing to talk about if we let it 😳. This week it is all about raising awareness that people with a learning disability have the same rights as anyone else to express their sexuality and have personal relationships.

There is also lots of support available on here - mencap.org.uk/advice-and-su... and mencap.org.uk/advice-and-su...

We'd also love to hear your stories and questions - do you talk about these things at home? Do you have any top tips about how to raise the issue?

best wishes, Sarah
