I haven't blogged on Amplify in a while (way too long!) but I'm proud to say I am BACK and with an AWESOME story for you all!
I recently came back from San Antonio where I and several other of my colleagues, plus Sarah (shout out to Advocates for Youth!) conducted a workshop called "Let's Talk About Sex". The turnout was simply great: there were over 60 (I almost want to say perhaps over 70) participants. The number of people who showed up is important for a few reasons: it provided us with an understanding of how many youth are interested in sexual health, and it rejected the myth that young people are apathetic to the issues.
We discussed the statistics about how Latin@ youth are disporportionately affected by pregnancy and STDs. We discussed healthy relationships and how to detect whether or not you're in an unhealthy relationship. But perhaps more importantly, we gave the participants an opportunity to ask questions. And they did. They were interested in our presentation and I'm confident that they left the workshop armed with knowledge that they will *hopefully* always remember
