On Thursday, July 20, 2023 from 1:00pm-7:00pm, at The Success Academy (1000 Tuscola St. Saginaw, MI 48607), Great Lakes Bay Health Centers along with Saginaw Public Schools, will be presenting the 10th Annual REALTALK 2023 youth event for students 13-18 years old. In conjunction with the youth event, they will also be hosting the Parent Action for Healthy Kids Talk Early & Talk Often workshop for parents/supportive adults.

During REAL TALK, there will be workshops designed to teach young people how to prevent HIV, other s*xually transmitted infections (STIs), and unplanned pregnancies. There will also be workshops focused on healthy teen relationships, consent, human trafficking, positive youth development, self-esteem, s*xual health, substance use prevention, and other topics related to equipping our teens with knowledge to make good healthy choices. The information will be presented by several community leaders. Abstinence – choosing not to have s*x—will be emphasized as the SAFEST choice. In addition, accurate information about other protection methods will also be provided. Students will learn and practice ways to resist pressure to have s*x and will also learn some decision-making and communication skills.

Parents are also asked to be part of prevention. The Parent Action for Healthy Kids workshop will empower parents with information and skills to help their students make healthy life choices. Featured in the workshop will be the “Talk Early & Talk Often” parent training. This will equip parents with tools and resources needed to talk to their kids about s*x.

In addition to the workshops, there will be Free Food and Great Giveaways.

Youth under 18 MUST have parental consent to attend this youth event!
Space is LIMITED! Registration is limited to the first 100 youth for Real Talk: YOLO and the first 50 parents/supportive adults for TETO!

Tickets are available for both the youth and parent event at eventbrite.com.
