Happy New Year!
National or International Awareness Campaigns in 2020 and major holidays can be a great way in to an RSE topic. Here are some dates that are coming up in the next few weeks:
1st January 2020 - New Year's Day
6th January 2020 - New term starts
14th January 2020 - National STiQ Day
STIQ Day has been launched to get people thinking about their sexual health and encourage more people to get regular sexual health checks

20th January 2020 - Blue Monday
Blue Monday isn’t officially a holiday but it has been named one of the most depressing days of the year. We think it is a good opportunity to discuss mental wellbeing.
30th January 2020 - Young Carers Awareness Day
Young Carers Awareness Day raises awareness of the challenges faced by young carers and campaigns for greater support for them.
