Friends & Mentors Inc. will host a sexual health education presentation for program participants, facilitated by Citizens for Citizens Family Planning, a trusted organization that provides education and resources on reproductive and sexual health.

During this educational session, trained educators will provide age-appropriate information designed to help young people make safe, informed, and healthy decisions.

The presentation will include discussions and demonstrations on the following topics:

• Contraception methods include birth control pills, the patch, vaginal ring, Nexplanon, Depo-Provera injection, and intrauterine devices (IUDs). Demonstration materials for each method may be shown to help students understand how each method works.
• Available health services include STI testing, HIV testing, birth control services, and other reproductive health resources.
• Condom use education, including a step-by-step demonstration of how to properly use a condom for protection against sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy.
• Consent education, including a discussion about healthy relationships, respect, and understanding consent. This portion may include short educational videos to support the discussion. This presentation is intended to provide factual, health-based education and encourage responsible decision-making among youth.
