Teen Workshops
This is a 2 hour workshop for teens by teens with some adult guidance. This workshop gives teens an opportunity to share their fears and joys in a neutral environment. We will cover pregnancy options, how to tell your parents, where to go for help and what to do next amongst many other topics. This is not a class to bring your parents (unless you really want to), but feel free to bring anyone that you can speak freely around. If this is well attended, sometimes support groups form and we have an ongoing workshop.
