Kim Andreassen, Mentally Healthy Schools Project Officer from the School of Population Health, previously co-authored a chapter in the book Fundamental Concepts and Critical Developments in Sex Education, which recently received the Sex Ed Impact Award from the Centre for Sex Education.

Their chapter, ‘Breaking Barriers: Sex Education Promoting Quality of Life for People with Physical Disability,’ focused on advancing inclusive, intersectional and rights-based approaches to sex education for people with physical disability. The work highlights the importance of accessibility, dignity and quality of life within sex education policy, practice and research.

The award recognises the collective efforts of the editors and contributors to advance trauma-informed and socially just approaches to sex education globally.

Congratulations to Kim on their impactful contribution to this award-winning book.
