Youth Workshops
Our
youth workshops are a great source of information. We help youth learn from their
own experiences through acting sharing stories, critiquing media and having a
say in their learning. Youth gain knowledge, opportunities to express themselves,
and confidence in advocating for their health needs.
Go Healthy Series:
STI's/Safer Sex: Safe, fun and consensual is the motto!
Youth learn about STI, prevention, and treatment: along with how to use, barriers,
and ways to stay STI free.
HIV: youth learn what HIV is, and
details about getting tested. We use role playing and games to practice how to
state our status and stay positive whether we are positive or not.
Sub
Use: Using the harm reduction tools, we talk about different drugs: and
their history, and give youth a chance to learn from their own experiences with
substances in their lives.
Doctors, Clinics, and Testing: Youth
will learn how to go to the doctor and what goes on during a physical exam. They will also get to
know human anatomy, as well as how to advocate for their own health rights.
