Dear Parents,
Planned Parenthood Regina (PPR) is pleased to announce their Educational Blitz for Adults project supported by the Community Initiatives Fund (CIF). This campaign aims to directly educate and impact adults, parents and service providers who work with youth to inform, equip and enhance their skills to “begin the conversation” with younger generations about sexual health.
If you have any questions please contact Marilyn Embury @ Marilyn.embury@rbe.sk.ca or Amanda Scollan @ abscollan@gmail.com
We are looking forward to an informative night of gaining insight on teachable moments and tips for talking to kids on this very important topic.
Dear Parents,
Planned Parenthood Regina (PPR) is pleased to announce their Educational Blitz for Adults project supported by the Community Initiatives Fund (CIF). This campaign aims to directly educate and impact adults, parents and service providers who work with youth to inform, equip and enhance their skills to “begin the conversation” with younger generations about sexual health.
Saskatchewan has the
highest rates of STI’s, HIV and unplanned pregnancy per capita in Canada. As an
agency Planned Parenthood Regina has seen a growing number of phone calls from
parents and community service providers asking for assistance with accurate
information on sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) and contraceptives.
Parents and community service providers are also asking for information on
how to speak with youth about sexual health. Many adults claim that as
youth they were never provided with this information and never had important
adults in their lives talk to them about sexual health.
On Monday, March 12 from 6:30 -
8:00 pm, Planned Parenthood will be at Jack MacKenzie School to meet with
parents and offer suggestions/guidance to address sexual health questions
and concerns of youth they know. The education program focuses on addressing
the importance of talking with youth about sexual health and provides
information, discussion and resources to participants. The evening will be
geared towards parents with children in Grades 5 and up however, all
parents/caregivers are welcome to attend. Please note, this is an evening for
adults only as it is not intended to replace the conversation at
home. If you have any questions please contact Marilyn Embury @ Marilyn.embury@rbe.sk.ca or Amanda Scollan @ abscollan@gmail.com
We are looking forward to an informative night of gaining insight on teachable moments and tips for talking to kids on this very important topic.
Sincerely,
Amanda Scollan and Marilyn Embury
