For SRH Week 2021, we’re talking about youth-friendly care. Did you know that young people have the right to receive care that’s adapted to their needs? Youth-friendly sexual health care means centering experience of young people and seeing access to sexual and reproductive health as a right. It means having open, non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and sex positive conversations about sex, sexuality, and sexual health. Youth-friendly care, it’s your right! www.actioncanadashr.org/srhweek
Young people are the experts when it comes to their own health. Youth-friendly care means understanding they are a diverse group with different needs and desires. The care they receive needs to be adapted to their unique experience. Youth-friendly care, it’s your right! Learn more: www.actioncanadashr.org/srhweek
Every young person should feel empowered, comfortable, and supported when they visit a healthcare provider. Youth-friendly care: it’s your right! Find out more about your rights as a young person: www.actioncanadashr.org/srhweek
Youth-friendly health care is non-judgmental and stigma-free. It should reduce barriers that are unique to young people, like hours of operations or the need for a health card. Every interaction you have with a healthcare provider should leave you feeling confident, supported, AND respected.

Every young person deserves to have their sexual health taken seriously. And that means getting an STI test when you ask for one, without being judged. Here’s a list of youth-friendly clinics where you can expect non-judgemental and stigma-free care: https://www.actioncanadashr.org/resources/services Find out more on STI testing: www.testforyou.ca

Sexual Rights and Health Care
Facebook and Instagram
Did you know that sexual rights are an essential part of overall health and safety? And that means for young people too. We need to have our sexual rights respected to feel safe and live in dignity free of discrimination and harm. Learn more: www.actioncanadashr.org/srhweek
To take care of our sexual health, we need to be able to access health care. Seems simple right? But it’s more complicated than that. For example, not every town or neighbourhood has a sexual health clinic or a clinic that offers youth-friendly care. Maybe your parents keep your health card and you’re not sure if you need to ask them permission. But as a young person you have rights, and those include confidentiality and privacy.
