BACOLOD City – Twenty-five youth offenders housed at the Bahay Pag-asa Youth Center here have undergone a training-workshop on adolescent health.
They were trained on adolescence, sex, sexuality and gender, fertility awareness, risky behavior among adolescents, premarital sex, teenage pregnancy, and teen dating, said program facilitator Ernie Asoy.
Ansoy said they also discussed violence, illegal drugs, smoking, and alcoholism, as well confronting threats and risks on adolescents, responsible sexuality, and harnessing adolescent life with skills.
The training-workshop was part of the Bahay Pag-asa Youth Center’s rehabilitation program in cooperation with the city government here.
It aims to train and equip young delinquents, mostly minors, with basic knowledge in coping with adolescent life outside the center.
They undergo rehabilitation at Bahay Pag-asa before they return to their respective communities and families. (PNA)
