We can’t be quiet about comprehensive sex education. ⁠ ⁠It empowers young people to make the best decisions for them, now and in the future. ⁠

🤩 We’re so grateful for everything you do to support young people in Alabama. You’re helping us build healthier futures and stronger communities. Wishing you a holiday season filled with joy and a bright start to 2025!

Not sure what to say when it comes to supporting young people and their sexual health?  Start with clear, accurate info and a space where they can ask questions freely.  Use simple language, visuals, and listen to their needs. The more you engage, the more confident they'll feel making healthy choices.

The right info on sexual health helps young people make BETTER choices. When they have the facts, they can take charge of their own health. You play a big part in making sure they get the truth, instead of myths. The more you talk, the more everyone learns.
