Children’s Aid offers comprehensive sexuality education that includes information about contraception, as well as helping young people build the tools they need to use pregnancy prevention methods.
Our programs help young people prevent unplanned pregnancy and HIV and other STD infections so they can focus on school, make safe, healthy decisions, and prepare for their future.
Sexual and reproductive health care services
Children’s Aid offers confidential, nonjudgmental, and free sexual and reproductive health care services to young people from providers who respect teens and are committed to their well-being.
Our service providers are trained to offer care that is inclusive and respectful of all sexual identities and culturally responsive to young people from different backgrounds.
Sexual and reproductive health care services include:
- complete physical exams
- gynecological exams and Pap tests
- condoms and other methods of birth control
- emergency contraception
- pregnancy testing and options counseling
- HPV vaccine
- STD screening and treatment
- rapid HIV testing and risk reduction counseling
At our health centers, we have teen-specific hours, there is never a cost, and services always come with the assurance of confidentiality.
If you are a teen and have questions, feel free to ask a health care provider at one of our clinics. Or, if you’d rather ask confidentially, send us a text and a trained expert will get back to you. Text ‘CAS Healthy Teens’ to 97-779.
