Jeena

The project delivers 121 and group information and advice and awareness sessions for South Asian women regarding sexual and reproductive health and well being in Trafford and Salford. The aim of the project is to increase awareness, testing, screening and access to relevant services by providing culturally sensitive and relevant information and advice in a number of languages.

Our Community Engagement Worker will provide confidential advice and support. We will also help you access appropriate services if needed for your health and wellbeing.

Jeena strives to break down barriers around:
• access to information
• access to sexual health and reproductive services due to stigma, religions and language barriers
• embarrassment
• gender issues

We provide information and advice on:
Sexual Health and Reproductive Health
• contraception
• STIs
• cancer screening

Health and Wellbeing
• health
• chronic conditions e.g. diabetes
• access to health and treatment care services

We aim to ensure that information on health issues relevant to South Asian women is culturally sensitive, up-to-date and effective. The project is accessible by South Asian women of all ages who need information on specific health issues, or alternatively need one-to-one support/ group workshops.
