Outreach program

The outreach program aims to improve the sexual health of gay and homosexually active men who use saunas, 'sex-on-premises venues' and gay cruising websites.

Our trained volunteers visit:

Saunas and other venues to talk to provide sexual health information and resources.
Gay cruising websites to answer men's sexual health questions.

On Thursday 10 March 2011 VAC/GMHC Health Promotion team members Jason and Jill interviewed Nathan, a volunteer with the Outreach program on our weekly radio show Well, Well, Well on JOY 94.9. In the interview, Nathan explains how outreach work is undertaken online and in sex-on-premises-venues and the types of issues that men in these spaces ask about sexual health.

Note: The interview with Nathan starts 7 minutes into the podcast.
