For many people, caring is a rewarding and positive experience, but for others, caring without the right help and support can feel overwhelming. For some people, caring can trigger feelings of loneliness and frustration and many often find their physical and emotional health, work or finances are affected. Carers do not have to wait until they are struggling or there is a crisis before they ask for support.

Good sexual health is essential and support is available to help you:

• maintain healthy relationships
• prevent disease
• find the right contraception

How to take care of yourself

Taking care of your sexual health means regular screens every three months for under-25s and between each new partner. 

Regular screening and practising safer sex lowers your risk of sexually transmitted infection and long-term health issues. 

The Lincolnshire Integrated Sexual Health Services (LISH) run clinics to screen you and help with any problems. There are some clinics specifically for young people.

You can also get advice from your school nurse or NHS choices.
