Question of the Week: 10/7

Teens: Who do you talk to about sex?
Your mom or dad? Other relatives? Your friends? A mentor? Someone else? Where do you get your advice or ask questions?

We'd love to hear your feedback! Please leave a comment with your answer.

Listening Tour: Teens Provide Their Perspectives

Northeast Florida teens will have an opportunity to provide their perspective on the causes and solutions to the region's high teen pregnancy rates through a series of discussion groups held throughout the region.  The groups, led by UNF Nursing students, were organized with the help of teen-serving programs.  Participants will be invited to join in task force discussion and activities through this blog.

Special thanks to Thomas Bryant III, interim director of the Institute for Public Health Informatics & Research at the Duval County Health Department, for his assistance in training the nursing students as group facilitators.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Northeast Florida Teen Pregnancy Task Force's interactive blog. The Task Force was created to address the high rate of teenagers having babies in the region. As the Task Force meets and develops a plan to improve current services for teens and possible create new ones, we would like your feedback. Please feel free to stop by on a regular basis and comment on our posts. We look forward to hearing your thoughts!
