Sexual Health Awareness Week - 2009- Grants

Hi everyone:

Its time to put your applications in for sexual health awareness weeks grants for 2009:

We are pleased to announce that community grants of up to $500 are available to community groups and agencies for activities that promote awareness of sexual health issues during Sexual Health Awareness Week 2009 (14-21 February).

What is Sexual Health Awareness Week?

Sexual Health Awareness Week (SHAW) is targeted at young adults between 18 and 30 years. It aims to increase awareness of sexual health issues and encourage South Australian communities to start talking openly about relationships and sexuality.

What is the Community Grants Program?
SHine SA recognises that communities need the flexibility to develop their own sexual health promotion strategies and activities that meet the needs of their community, taking into consideration the differing social, cultural and value sensitivities.
And that's what the Community Grants Program is all about. It's been developed to encourage individuals, groups and communities to take greater responsibility for their sexual health.
Focus of Sexual Health Awareness Week 09.

The 2009 campaign will focus on accessing knowledge to encourage young adults to think about keeping themselves healthy in the context of their personal relationships. The key message, Safety, Pleasure, Respect - Now I get it!, emphasises the importance of individuals having the knowledge to make their own decisions in relation to their sexual health, wellbeing and the positive expression of their sexuality.
