Grateful for an inspiring Research Day at Eastern Virginia Medical School!
Such a great opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate amazing public health work happening across our community.
We were so proud to have Luwam A., one of our lead Health Educators, present on behalf of our Teen Health 360 team. She shared our summer pilot project:
“Breaking Barriers, Building Knowledge: Delivering Evidence-Based & Trauma-Informed S*xual Health Education to Adolescents in Residential Care.”
This project teamed us up with a local organization to bring an interactive, trauma-informed s*xual health program to youth in residential care. The pilot boosted s*xual health knowledge, increased comfort asking questions, and showed just how important it is to create safe, supportive spaces for young people to talk openly about relationships, consent, and their bodies.
So grateful for our partners, our dedicated educators, and the youth who inspire us every day!
