Survey says...
According to the Toronto Teen Sex Survey teens want more sex ed, are worried about being judged when accessing sexual health care, and prefer to get sexual health information from professional sources such as doctors, nurses, and teachers. The survey is one of the largest surveys in Canada that focuses on teen sexual health. As an organization that provides sexual health care to teens, ISH is very interested in the study and believes it will helpful in our own service provision to teens.
ISH works very hard to provide the very best sexual health care experience for all of our clients especially our teens. ISH strives provides non-judgmental and confidential sexual health education and health care for ALL.
We are here to provide our clients with sexual health education and health care, not judge them!!
