HIV and sexual health charity THT (Terrence Higgins Trust) has launched a free sex and relationships guide book for young people, schools and colleges
 
Young Leaders from THT have produced the guide called "Everything you need to know about...Relationships" which will be available to order from THT’s web site  and the first 10,000 copies are free.    
 
The guide talks about different kinds of relationships, gives information around sex and sexual health as well as suggestions on where young people can go to get advice and support.

The guide is written by young people, as well as teens from across the UK who had the opportunity to contribute to the resource through an online questionnaire.  The aim is to give young people a resource which will help them to make informed and healthy decisions around relationships, sex and sexual health.   

Porsha Nunes-Brown, a 17 year old Young Leader from London said:  
"I think this booklet is very important as young people are often given an unrealistic image of what relationships are. This booklet highlights the building blocks for a healthy relationship."

Gemma Robertson, a 19 year old Young Leader from Liverpool said:
“I wanted to give something back to young people who may be confused with emotional issues. This was also a personal challenge for me as it was something I’ve never had a chance to do before. It's been hard work, however it's all been worth it and I hope that people will benefit from it.”

Gareth Davies, Young Leaders Project Manager said:
“Young people tell us it's not always easy to get the information and support they need, especially about relationships. Young Leaders is a groundbreaking project, which in the last three years, has helped thousands of young people to develop their own SRE projects based on their own needs and priorities. We hope this guide will have a lasting legacy when it comes to giving young people the information they need to make informed and healthy decisions about sex and relationships.”
