HEALTHY YOUNG ONES

A substantial and important aspect of adolescent health is sexual and reproductive health
education. Due to the religious background of the Philippines and societal norms which prevail in the
country, Filipinos in general are reluctant to engage in discussions on sexuality and related topics.
Naturally, many healthcare service providers who work with adolescents on a daily basis tend to feel
uncomfortable dealing with that aspect of life. Healthy Young Ones is an information, education, and
communication material for 10 - 19 years old. It teaches about sexual health, sexual orientation and
gender identity, puberty, reproductive system, sexually transmitted infections, human
immunodeficiency virus, acquired immunodeficiency virus, and looking after their own safety and
well-being. Healthy Young Ones aims to address the challenge that health care providers are facing in
providing 2 adolescents information, skills about their self, sexuality, and sexual health.
