World Contraception Day is celebrated on the 26th of September 2012
World Contraception Day is a worldwide campaign with a vision for a world where every pregnancy is wanted. Its mission is to improve awareness of contraception to enable young people to make informed decisions on sexual and reproductive health.
SHine SA is marking World Contraception Day this year with a reminder to agencies and individuals to encourage young people to exercise their right to search for accurate, unbiased information about contraception - to prevent an unplanned pregnancy or sexually transmitted infection (STI).
We can provide you with a sample of the range of resources that we produce which are available to support the work with your clients and communities to help inform choices in contraception. Please contact jessica.tubman@health.sa.gov.au if you would like a pack sent to you. Jess can also provide you with information about other resources you can order from SHine SA.
A new resource, recently launched by the Minister for Health & Ageing, the Honourable John Hill, consists of 4 short videos which address contraceptive myths. They can be used for educational purposes and are available on You Tube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsGL6890RaM&feature=plcp
An A5 poster and wallet card have been developed to accompany this new resource and they can also be ordered from SHine SA.
