Jason May

Delivering effective health education that inspires young people, tackling challenging issues on wellbeing, mental health and sexual health.

Jason has vast experience delivering talks to young people and has worked within many education settings. After six years working for the NHS in sexual health promotion and a background in fitness and nutrition, his down to earth approach is engaging and interactive. Ensuring students feel comfortable to get involved and interact is a skill that has been honed over years of presenting.

Jason recognises a need for realistic sexual health education for young people and he aims to deliver diverse sessions tackling issues that are directly affecting students, from young children covering puberty to older students looking at consent, safe sex and sexually transmitted infections, contraception, relationships and methods of delay. Ensuring students feel at ease with this tricky subject is no easy task, but Jason instantly makes students feel relaxed and comfortable while ensuring the key health messages are taken in and remembered.

Jason addresses well-being and body image with sessions aiming to give young people confidence in their appearance, realise the different influences on them and raise awareness on certain gender specific social issues. The session is interactive and thought provoking. Jason also addresses that the media is having a huge impact on young people’s perception of how they should look. The pressure for guys and girls to fit in with the images they see is creating so many physical and mental health issues.

Jason also delivers talks on internet safety and believes keeping young people safe and informed when browsing the internet is now more important than ever. One of the most common ways that young people are communicating is through social media using apps and games on their phones and computers. The amount of exposure and risk is increasing for young people and we aim to raise awareness on the risks and on methods to help them stay safe.
