Goals

- To help youth prevent unintended pregnancies
- To help youth develop skills to make safer sex decisions
- To educate youth so they can make informed sexual decisions
Overview
My workshop project offers youth-based sex ed outreach to youth in Simcoe County. I provide skills and information to youth who are most at risk for negative outcomes, including sexually transmitted infections, HIV infection and unintended pregnancy. By participating in my program, youth have the opportunity to learn about safe and effective condom use, contraceptive options, healthy relationships and communication. Workshops are interactive and teach concrete skills, such as how to use condoms, where to access services, and how to communicate with partners about sex.
Deliverables:
- Youth have the knowledge to make informed, healthy sexual decisions
- Youth have access to accurate sexual health information in a youth-friendly setting
- Youth are better equipped to negotiate sexual decisions with their partner(s)
- Youth have increased awareness of STIs, including HIV, and how to avoid them
- The only such program available to youth in Orillia, Ontario
