Description
This guide for youth-centered counseling is a tool developed to assist frontline providers in reaching young people and effectively promoting sexual health in Latin America and the Caribbean. It has been developed by the Child and Adolescent Health and HIV/AIDS Units, Family and Community Health Area, PAHO/WHO to assist in reaching young people and effectively promoting sexual health. It contains detailed and theory-based actions and methods to improve the quality of services for young people. Youth-centered counseling, to be effective, must respond to young people's individual sexual behaviour, context, and developmental stage. While the book includes guideline, strategies, and the theoretical underpinnings guiding the practice of counseling, the accompanying CD provides an additional practical tool. Based on experience from youth-centered counseling workshops, the CD serves both for self learning and as teaching materials in a group setting.
