Sexual Health and Sexual Abstinence

The voice of reason in a wilderness of choices -- that's what your programs can provide to young people faced with a daily barrage of messages about what they should do to be "cool," "grown up," "one of the gang."

Our materials on sexual responsibility and sexual abstinence support successful outreach efforts by:

creating greater awareness of sexual pressure: its sources and motives
increasing understanding of related issues such as healthy relationships and the
physical and emotional changes experienced during puberty
highlighting the potentially life-altering consequences of making unhealthy decisions,
such as early pregnancy and STD infection
promoting healthy decisions that can include abstinence
addressing self-protection techniques for those who choose to be sexually active.

Sexual Abstinence: The 100% Safe-Sex and STD-Prevention Strategy
