We created a new alliance to strengthen the importance of talking about sex education in adolescence with the families we accompany.
Through a partnership with the Eduardo Santos Educational Institution, we conducted a school for parents of this school, to reflect on Sexuality in Adolescence. The thematic development of the day was in charge of the Psychology program of the Metropolitan University, the Social Work department of the Pies Descalzos Educational Institution and the team of the Secretary of Health.
In the development of the agenda, multiple activities related to the change of roles, perspectives and empathy were carried out, all directed to the understanding of the emotional dimension of the human being. With this series of activities, the participants were able to reflect on the complex subject and how to assume it with the young people in their care.
Healthy eating and healthy lifestyle habits were also important topics during the meeting. For the development of these topics we had the support of the Faculty of Nutrition of the Metropolitan University, who spoke to the parents about the assessments made and about the causes and consequences of an inadequate diet.
The occasion was also used to talk about the Vitameal supplement and to make known the benefits of its consumption; for this purpose, parents were offered preparations based on it, with rice, meat croquettes and juices, so that they could taste the different ways of preparing it and thus contribute to better nutritional conditions.
The parents were grateful for the opportunity to meet at the Pies Descalzos school facilities and we are committed to continue developing this type of meetings that benefit the family processes of the La Playa community.
