A key aim of the National Sexual Health Strategy is to ensure that everyone living in Ireland will receive comprehensive, and age-appropriate sexual health education and information.
To this end, the HSE Sexual Health and Crisis Pregnancy Programme carries out a wide range of sexual health promotion campaigns, communications and information projects, both online via the www.sexualwellbeing.ie website and through the provision of hard copy resources.
