Reduce Unintended Pregnancy & Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Prevention

Goals

Adolescence is a time of tremendous opportunity and change. Becoming a sexually healthy adult is one of the most significant developmental tasks of adolescence. Healthy sexuality is to be respected, and requires a sense of responsibility to be emotionally and physically prepared and protected.
