Young, sexual & healthy? The reality of sexual health for young people

Working with young people in sexual health requires more than clinical knowledge. It calls for trust‑building, careful communication, and an understanding of where young people are developmentally and socially. In this episode, we speak to a leading nurse practitioner in the ACT to discuss their work in a specialised service for young people. We unpack how clinicians can break down barriers that can deter young people from seeking healthcare and shares practical, experience‑based insights to help clinicians engage young people with confidence and support early, ongoing connections to care. Guest:Sandy Lendrum, Nurse Practitioner at Directions Health ServicesResources discussed in this episode:T25 Clinic WebpageSTI Guidelines This activity is supported by ACT Health Directorate.
