Dear friend,
Welcome to the Healthy Futures of Texas monthly newsletter!
As the holiday season approaches, we would like to thank you for allowing
us to continue our work expanding programs and engaging teens and young
adults in our Texas communities to address the gaps in access to statewide
sexual health education and resources.
We appreciate your support and would like to keep you updated with our
monthly news. Through these newsletters, you will receive the most relevant
information on what is happening in the field of sexual and reproductive
health each month.

of judges, with the best ones screened at the event in March 2023. Winning
filmmakers receive a cash prize.
Film prompt for this year: “What does access to birth control mean to
you?”

Healthy Futures of Texas’ Youth Advisory Board (YAB) and the Dallas Youth
Commission (YC) proudly hosted the 2022 Town Hall for Teens. The event
provided YAB members and YC members the opportunity to raise their sexual
health concerns with community leaders.
The YAB is an educational platform for teenagers to make positive changes
in their community. Through peer-to-peer conversations, community events,
and parent engagement, the group addresses a range of issues including sex
education for youth and young adults, and equitable access to reproductive
health care for underserved communities.
Take a look at highlights from the event here [5].
