Sister Connect Peer Treatment and Education Program

A major component of the Sister Connect Program is to educate women about their bodies, as well as provide an open and nonjudgmental forum for women to discuss and receive health education/risk reduction information. Multiple sessions in the curriculum are reserved to address: pregnancy and HIV, the female anatomy, and safer sex/and sexuality. These sessions are progressively interactive, and participants are provided with materials (i.e. speculums, condoms, etc.) to conduct personal exams for further education. Moreover, all participants are provided with a vast range of resources for additional referrals in their specific locales.
