Bonus Episode: a Peer Health Educator discusses Forever
Manage episode 410675908 series 2937778
Forever was a real headscratcher for us. We *think* Judy Blume was trying to disseminate information about teen sexual health in an easily digestible way but we wanted to check in with an expert. In this frank conversation, we untangle the complex dynamics of the book's central relationship and contrast the sexual health services of the past with the ways teen access health services today. Our expert thinks this book may be a miss for the teens of today but sees a role for podcasts (!) in sexual health education in 2024. Join us for a deep dive into consent, STI prevention, healthy relationships, and responsible authorship.
