What is it?
This platform is a knowledge and sharing hub designed to support adolescents’ health and well-being during adolescence and pre-adolescence—a period marked by intense physical, emotional, and social changes. It provides psychological counselors, parents, and all interested individuals with knowledge and insights related to sexual development and sexuality education.
Purpose
The goal is to support the health and well-being of adolescents by disseminating scientific information, working modules, supportive resources, and collaborative materials that parents and psychological counselors may need. This includes helping them understand the components of sexual and reproductive health during the pre-adolescent and adolescent stages, challenging common misconceptions, and enabling healthy and responsible decision-making on the path to adulthood.
