Teens attending the More than Just Sex conference were the first to premier a new series of sexual health DVDs written, produced and acted by Community Healthcare Network teens while also learning ways to take control of their lives and plan for their future.
The conference held at St. Francis College was attended by almost 300 and planned by Community Healthcare Network's Teens P.A.C.T. program.
Highlights of the conference include:
· Brooklyn-based motivational speaker Kheperah talking to teens about youth empowerment and positive alternatives to risky behavior.
· Workshops designed to help teens take control of their lives, their sexual health and their future.
· The premier of videos focused on sexual orientation and peer pressure that were created by teens for teens.
The conference was planned by Community Healthcare Network's Teens P.A.C.T. (Positive Actions and Choices for Teens) program dedicated to preparing young people for success through empowerment, understanding, and the provision of realistic, relevant and accurate information. Teens P.A.C.T. provides young people with opportunities to establish relationships and explore attitudes and beliefs in a community of guidance, support and acceptance.
