The ‘Talk About It” conversations will include speakers that will answer all questions you
might have, talk about family planning, reproductive health, and sexuality, and guide you
through available resources. Our partner, The Fertility Advantage, was recruited to specifically
work with our young adult group, aged 17-19 years old. The Fertility Advantage educational
segment will happen on day 3 and specifically focuses on reproductive health and fertility
planning for the group.
Correct knowledge is power, and it is your right!
“Young people everywhere have the right to the knowledge, tools and services
they need to make informed decisions about their bodies and live full, healthy
and productive lives.” – Jill Sheffield, Founder and President of Women Deliver1
As many of you may know, there is a societal notion that speaking on anything regarding
reproductive health is 'taboo'. This consideration has hindered our youth and the availability of
resources. For this very reason, our solution, our seminar, aims to meet the needs of family
planning education for the adolescent population by providing them with current and correct
knowledge, without using scare tactics, and multiple means of resources. Our program is to
help provide resources to any adolescent seeking them.
For the entire month of August, starting on August 1st, MyFamPlan program seminars
will be available to youth aged 10 to 19 years old throughout San Diego County. We will hold a
3-day conference during the following dates in the following cities:
El Cajon - August 1-3;
Chula Vista - August 4-6;
Coronado - August 7-9;
National City – August 10-13;
