The Sexual Health Outreach Team (SHOT) is a project funded through the Families First programme and carried out by YMCA Cardiff. We provide young people in Cardiff and The Vale of Glamorgan with a tailored, spe

We also coordinate the Condom-Card scheme (C-Card) across Cardiff and the Vale - a free and confidential sexual health service across the whole of UK that aims to reduce numbers of teenage pregnancy and STI transmissions by providing easily accessible contraception to young people aged 13-25. We provide organisations and schools with sexual health training and information in order to ensure they can can support young people with their sexual health needs. The team are competent in delivering sessions on topics such as:
Contraception
Sexually Transmitted Infections
Identifying positive relationships
Peer pressure
Delaying sex
Pregnancy
Sexual risk taking
Inappropriate sexual language/behaviour
Online safety and pornography
General sexual health knowledge
We also support young people to access testing and contraception at sexual health clinics within Cardiff.

121 SHOT Work
We work with anyone living within Cardiff and The Vale aged 11-25 years of age around a multitude of topics. Our one-to-one work is delivered in a place of the young persons choice (at home, at school, at a youth club, at a café etc.) We also support young people to access the Department of Sexual Health and their sexual health clinics. Our work with young people is not limited to a set number of sessions and we tailor it to their needs. SHOT Group Work
Similarly to the individual work, we offer group sessions to organisations and schools. These tailored and targeted sessions can be a one off or we can deliver a number of sessions to a group. They are designed to be offered in addition to existing RSE curriculum. How can I refer to SHOT? We accept referrals from all professionals, young people and parents or carers. To make a referral please contact the Sexual Health Outreach Team by emailing [email protected] or by calling (029) 2046 5250.

Sexual Health week is always a great excuse to explore different topics of our work. The theme this year is ‘Chronically Online’.

We’ve taken this as an opportunity to talk about false information online, but also how we might be ‘influenced’ by stories we see on social media.

While there are so many positives to the connected world, and it has led to improvements in s*xual health care - don’t forget to also see a professional. They can listen to your personal story, explain the most up to date research, and give you advice that suits you best!

Because unfortunately, ChatGPT can’t test you for STIs (yet 😅).
