advocacy. This webinar features presenters from Jane’s Due Process, Fort

social movements. Come learn how to create a fun, thoughtful, grounding,
safe, politicizing space for young people.

BEST PRACTICES -- _Presented by Cherisse Scott, Founder and CEO,

CENTER PEOPLE AND EQUITY IN CONTRACEPTIVE ACCESS EFFORTS -- _Presented by
Kelsey Holt, ScD, Assistant Professor, Family Community Medicine,
University of California San Francisco_
In this session, we will describe how social and structural determinants of
health impact access to high quality contraceptive information and services
and create inequities that should be the focus of contraceptive access
efforts. We will present the Person-Centered Contraceptive Care (PCCC)
Framework, a tool for considering potential solutions to promote equitable
contraceptive access and care, and will discuss real examples of efforts to
move beyond a narrow focus on long-acting reversible contraception (LARC)
uptake towards a focus on equity and people in contraceptive access work.

AND THE BIRTHING SPACE --_ Presented by Jessica 'JR' Chester, CHW, Owner
Begin with A’kis, professional birthing services_
In this session, we will explore the history of birth and the evolution of
the traditional birthing space in the USA. It will focus on the experiences
of teen parents of color in these spaces today: their rights, the
intersection of culture and coercion, and factors that contribute to
positive and negative birthing experiences. Finally, this session will
touch on ways to bring agency to teen parents in birthing spaces.
MAY 2021 WEBINAR:
LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Sex Ed: Redefining “Inclusivity” as Equity, Access,
and Shared Power
May 12, 10-11 am CST
Inclusive sexual health education is critical for LGBTQIA+ youth, but
it’s more than just changing “boyfriend” to “partner” – it’s
providing room for the wide diversity of experiences and identities young
people hold, designing curriculum from the ground up with LGBTQIA+
stakeholders, and demanding more equitable systems. In this webinar panel,
participants will learn why inclusive sex education is necessary, how the
policies across the U.S. and in Texas restrict effective sex education, and
the health impacts of these restrictions. Participants will leave with
resources and best practices to improve sex education for LGBTQIA+
students, including affirming language, inclusive practices, and additional
resources for reproductive and sexual health education that can support all
students as they seek healthy, happy lives.
_Presenters: Anthony Betori, Program Director, Healthy Futures of Texas
(moderator); Robert Salcido, Jr., Executive Director, Pride Center San
Antonio; and Youth Panelists Carlos Arguello, Carlie Patrick, and Sydney
