Sexual Health
Why it matters
Effective Counseling and Services
Discussing sexuality and sexual activity with young people can be challenging. Research shows that health care providers struggle to address this sensitive topic with their adolescent patients adequately. Effective sexual health counseling and services have a positive impact on the physical and emotional well-being of adolescents.
