Save the date for the Birds and the BBV Bites informative online sessions. These sessions are run by @TheAHCWA in partnership with @HepatitisWA, @weareWAAC & @SHealthQuarters. Make these sessions a part of your Tuesday lunchtime this April!

Our incredible health promotion team spent International Women’s Day spent at Homelessness; We Care! They handed out condoms, naloxone, educational things and, most importantly, lollies!!! #iwd2022 instagram.com/p/Ca17tK-P265/…

STIs happen. They suck but they happen. We educate about prevention and harm reduction and testing, but we also empower people’s choices. We create room for people to make informed decisions, have fun, make mistakes and still be treated with respect, care and without judgment 4

Garry, one of our wonderful Clinical Nurse Consultants, has a mantra he tells all clients. “I am not the sex police. I am not the condom police. I am not the drug police.” This is what people need and want from their health services, where they feel safe to share everything 3/4

Five years ago, the @yacwa YEP Project made a video about getting tested at M Clinic. It made a massive impact. So so so many people over the years have said that video helped them feel safe to get tested. So we made a new version! Check it out: youtu.be/Rmh9fqCj-Lo
