LOTS OF INFO





If you havent had a look at this site - its fantastic(click on the picture). Not only does it give you information about contraceptive sexual health (particularly in developing countries - funny how the issues are often the same especially for young people at risk) it also has resources that you can order or even get free.


As an example I have ordered a copy of the "Family Planning - A Global Handbook For Providers" This book is soooo easy to follow. It is not made just for clinicians. It is written in simple language that will help you explain contraception to young people. The book covers such topics as types of contraceptives, serving diverse groups, STIs, reproductive health, sex after childbirth etc etc.


I think EVERY youth /community health centre should have a copy of this for easy reference. (Click on the picture on the right to go to the order page)

    Hey Lud, Great site! I agree that the book is great and easy to follow. I particularly like the multicultural pictures which make it relevant to CALD communities and Indigenous Australia.

    Keep up the good work.

    Cheers, Edwina

    Hi Lud and Edwina,

    I also agree that this book is a must have, it's so convenient to have around just to check on something. It's also got lots of great tables and is really easy to understand...what a bargain!!!
