Sexual health
Effective sex positive parenting is an ongoing journey, not a destination. Whether it involves learning sex ed knowledge you didn’t receive, unlearning harmful myths and stereotypes, unpacking shame, or healing trauma, parents and caregivers can be more effective mentors for young people when they nurture their own sexual health as well. Sexual health is fundamental to the overall health and
well-being of individuals, couples and families, and to the social and economic development of communities and countries. Sexual health, requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility
of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.
Contraception
Contraception is a vital topic within
the broader theme of sex education
for teenagers, as it impowers young people with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their sexual health and well-being. Effective contraception education not only addresses the mechanics of different contraceptive methods but also delves into the importance of consent, communication, and responsibility in sexual relationships. By providing comprehensive and accurate information about contraception, we equip teenagers with the confidence to make safe and healthy choices, fostering a foundation for respectful and informed sexual behaviour throughout their lives.
