Safe sex workshop useful?
The Centre for Northern Families hosted a safe sex empowerment workshop for youth on June 28. About 15 people, ranging in age from their mid-teens to their mid-20s attended. They were able to ask sexual questions of a public health nurse, talk about homosexuality, and make dental dams and wooden dildos. Seeing as the NWT has higher rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections than Canada's provinces, are such workshops welcome, or should sex education come from parents?
