Boys and young men in Southend are to be targeted as part of a multi-agency initiative designed to reduce teenage conceptions and raise awareness about sexual health.
Although teenage pregnancy is not a huge problem in Southend the ground-breaking initiative will see more emphasis placed on the role of boys in teenage pregnancy, with ‘hotspot’ areas initially targeted.
The scheme will also see workers from a range of backgrounds take a widespread approach using various themes to raise awareness amongst boys and young men about the positive changes to their lifestyles that can be made.
