Healthy Sexuality Clinic Tours
As a teacher, you know the benefits of experiential learning - this could include a tour of one of the Peel Health Healthy Sexuality Clinics. Providing information to your students does not increase sexual activity or risk-taking behaviours - in fact, research shows that just the opposite is true. The more kids know, the better equipped they are to make responsible decisions for themselves.
You can provide young people with the opportunity to get accurate information and to have their questions answered.
The fun and interactive tour can include information about many topics including the following:
- Healthy Relationships
- Birth Control, Emergency Contraception, Pregnancy Testing and Counselling
- Sexually Transmitted Infections, Hepatitis B, Anonymous HIV (AIDS) Testing
Tours can be tailored to suit the needs, interests and age of your students.
