- Outcomes
-
Our contraception workshop aims to increase students’ knowledge, skill base and capacity to make rational and informed decisions in their choice of birth control. We also include which forms of contraception will protect from sexually transmitted infections. All approaches to contraception are examined in detail, as well as dispelling a number of classic myths and misconceptions. There is some discussion around teenage pregnancy and the choices available. The workshop also provides information on how and where to access further help if required.
It promotes a sense of responsibility for looking after your own sexual health through discussion of the necessity of using barrier contraception, regardless of sexuality.
This workshop has group activities and discussions, a condom demonstration, contraception examples and an image-based PowerPoint presentation.
This session works well in all female or mixed groups. However, due to the subject matter it is not as suited to an all-male environment.
