IN·clued: Workshop on Inclusive Health Care

For Youth & Health Care Providers

IN·clued addresses the sexual health disparities affecting LGBTQ+ youth across the United States with an evidence-based dual approach. It offers two workshops, each aimed at a different group, one for youth and one for supportive healthcare professionals.

**The Youth Workshop is for individuals who are 14-24 years old and identify as LGBTQ+, questioning, or an ally. It empowers youth with essential knowledge and skills for navigating sexual health and accessing health care.

**The Healthcare Provider Workshop is for healthcare professionals who would like to provide a more inclusive space and culture for LGBTQ+ youth. It equips them with strategies to deliver more inclusive and affirming care.

The organization is also looking for volunteers (aged 14-24 years old) who would like to become Youth Peer Educators.

Visit Planned Parenthood California Central Coast to learn more about IN·clued or sign up for the workshops, or to volunteer.
