Sex and Love
Yep, it finally happened. Someone you know (or maybe even you) are starting to have “those kinds of feelings” towards another person. So now what? Feeling love for the first time is invigorating, confusing, exciting and scary; all those emotions mixed with raging hormones, can be really overwhelming and sometimes awkward or difficult to discuss. In this section, you can find information on healthy relationships, sexual identity, family planning, dating violence and more. Articles are great for parents and teens alike.

Confidentiality
The Youth Project prides itself on creating a safe, non-judgmental and confidential setting in which students speak freely and can be assured that the stories they share remain private. However, all students are informed that we are a mandated reporting agency, meaning: if we have reasonable suspicion that a child (under the age of 18) has been mistreated, we are required to file a report with the necessary agencies.
We will report when a student shares information on:
Physical Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Harm to Themselves, Sexual Abuse, Neglect, Harm to Others
Confidentiality:
All sessions are confidential. However, we are a mandated reporting agency and if a student expresses a desire to harm himself or others or if there is reason to suspect child abuse or neglect, we are obligated to report to the appropriate agency. ALL STUDENTS are reminded of this before every session.***
