Welcome to PPSFL's Sexuality Education & Training Department!
We provide programs, information, trainings, educational events, and many other resources for people in Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben, and Tompkins counties.
All of our work is guided by a belief that sexuality is a natural part of life and...
“Sexual health...includes the ability to understand and weigh the risks, responsibilities, outcomes and impacts of sexual actions and to practice abstinence when appropriate. It includes freedom from sexual abuse and discrimination and the ability of individuals to integrate their sexuality into their lives, derive pleasure from it, and to reproduce if they so choose.”
-Surgeon General David Satcher’s
“Call to Action to Promote Sexual Health and Responsible Sexual Behavior” (June, 2001)
We agree.
Healthy sexuality leads to a positive sense of self, appreciation of others, good communication, and successful platonic and romantic relationships. At all ages, healthy sexuality includes our natural feelings about pleasure and desire.
A sexually healthy person:
In order to make healthy sexuality the norm, our communities need to work together to lower rates of teen pregnancy, STDs, and abortion and increase knowledge, skills, and healthy choices.
Together we can make a difference!
