What is a JSNA (Joint Strategic Needs Assessment)?

This survey is part of the Council's Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) which looks at the current and future health and wellbeing care needs of local people. The JSNA explores the wider social factors that impact a person’s health and wellbeing, to shape how services and support are provided in Southend-on-Sea.

Why Sexual and Reproductive Health?

Sexual and reproductive health are an important part of maintaining our physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing. All of us may need support with sexual and reproductive health at some stage in our lives, whether that be for contraception, menopause, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, advice and guidance around safe sex, pregnancy, or support with HIV.

Good sexual and reproductive health involves people being able to have a safe and satisfying sex life, being able to reproduce and start a family, and have the freedom to choose if, when and how often to do so.

We want to make sure people in Southend have good experiences with our services and are supported to maintain their sexual health and wellbeing, as we recognise that poor sexual health can be serious and costly for the individual, for health and social care services and for society as a whole.
