PRIDE Reflections

PRIDE Panel Reflections - Sophomore Health
[click the image above]
One of the great resources that we have within our community is LINKS North Shore Youth Health Service.   Situated in Northfield, LINKS empowers young people to make informed, responsible decisions about their health, well-being and sexuality. Their confidential services are offered in a safe and caring environment. Office hours are Monday - Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm.
Recently we were visited by their Pride Youth Program panel, a group of students within the community who identify themselves as LGBTQ. They shared their personal stories and explained how valuable Pride was as a safe and confidential space for LGBTQ teenagers to build community and support each other.
As always our students were impressed with the guest speakers and when asked to reflect upon the talk they wrote some great comments. Here I have used Youblisher to share some of the many great comments for you to read. Youblisher allows you to upload documents and share them with others in a magazine format.
Check out the LINKS website for further local resources on teen health related topics.
