SHE-YWISE
Sexual Health Education for Young Women's Identity and Self-Esteem ...
Children By
Choice has received funding from Perpetual Trustees, The Samuel and
Eileen Gluyas Charitable Trust, for a project to improve young
Queensland women’s access to information, support and education
regarding their sexual and reproductive health, in particular for issues
relating to unplanned pregnancy.
The project aims to:
· Identify the unmet
information and support needs of young women and the health
professionals and youth and community workers who work with them, in the
area of sexual and reproductive health.
· Identify, develop and
implement strategies to improve young women’s access to these services.
· Develop collaborative
partnerships with relevant agencies such as Family Planning QLD to plan,
develop and deliver information, education and support activities.
· Develop training resources
and information for adults and peer leaders involved in sexual health
education, including training workshops, class activities, information
sheets and articles
If you would like to know more about
this project or become involved, please contact the Education Officer.
