Competition for WA Sexual Health Week 2025 (9-15 Feb)

Sexual Health Stories: Celebrating Positive Change in the Midwest

Project Summary:

The Sexual Health Stories project aims to celebrate positive changes in sexual health through personal storytelling during WA Sexual Health Week 2025. This project invites community members from the Midwest region of WA to share their stories of positive change in the sexual health and wellbeing space, both at individual and community levels. Through showcasing a collection of diverse stories, the project aims reduce stigma, raise awareness, and foster open conversations about sexual health in the Midwest community. The stories will be shared digitally via social media, making sexual health education more accessible to people living in the regions. Frank Sexology would like to thank WAAC for support in running this project.
