Teen Health Mississippi has created a variety of resources for teens learning about, advocating for, or choosing to practice safe sex, including the free Safe Sex With ME. kit. We can also recommend additional outside resources on sexual health for teens to expand your knowledge.

Additional Resources for Teens

We didn’t create the following resources about sexual health and education, but many of the teens we’ve worked with have found them useful.

Bedsider

Bedsider is an online support network for people using or interested in using birth control. The website includes a wealth of information about birth control and encourages you to take an active role in your sexual health.

Sex, Etc.

Sex, Etc. offers honest and accurate information on sexual health. Their resources include a magazine and blog exploring personal stories from other teens and timely sexual health topics, plus forums to connect with other teens and opportunities to get involved with advocacy.

Fact Not Fiction 

Fact Not Fiction, a project of The Women’s Foundation of Mississippi and the Mississippi State Department of Health, provides medically accurate information about sex to Mississippi teens. They partner with nurses at the University of Mississippi Medical Center to ensure accurate information and advice.

Advocates for Youth

Advocates for Youth works alongside young people advocating for progress on issues like HIV, sex education, emergency contraception, and more. They encourage youth participation and awareness on these issues.
