“Ignorance Is Not Bliss: Teen Sex Trends, Choices and Challenges”, presented by Ronna Johnson
Making responsible decisions and healthy choices about sexual activity during the teenage years can have immediate and lasting implications for overall health outcomes. Ignorance is not bliss for the multitude of teens who are engaging in behaviors that put them at risk for unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and emotional and psychological scars from devaluing themselves through promiscuity. This workshop will explore; current teen sex trends, sexually transmitted disease risks and precautions, birth control options, service resources and how social workers can support care giving parents in educating themselves about the choices and challenges related to teen sex and sexuality and the importance of communication, with teens in their home, around this important issue.
