Mission: Protection
Condoms will never again be spoken of in private, hushed whispers...
thanks to Teen Talk's PSers!
Mission: Protection, a peer led workshop, destroys all myths about keeping condoms confidential.
We have designed a peer led workshop that is informative, interactive and filled with hands on activities.
We want the world to know all the facts about condoms!
There's so much to learn about:
how to properly put them on
where to store them
where to get them
why it's so important to use them
