Describe a typical day. Jiwsi is available in six counties in NorthWales, and we work in coastal urban areas with similar problems to innercities, to small villages in mountainous areas with limited health andtransport services.
Although these groups appear different, their needs are the same.Neither has been given the opportunity to discuss sexual health beforeand have limited information. We don't make assumptions about people'sknowledge but explore practical and attitudinal barriers to good sexualhealth.
I also plan courses and meet with health and social services staff.
What other agencies and who else within your organisation do you workwith? NSPCC, NCH and other voluntary organisations working with youngpeople.
