Workshops for Youth

ASAC’s mission includes providing education that can lead to barriers in care. Tennessee’s abstinence-only sex education policy prevents many youth from learning about their bodies, relationships, and health. With comprehensive sex education, ASAC equips youth to make decisions that are right for them, their bodies, and their relationships through empowering knowledge. All sessions offered by ASAC are free to host and/or attend.

Our workshops cover:

  • Reproductive Health Overview
