Show Notes

Quality, evidence-based sex education is more important than ever. In this episode [Ep 10 revisited], youth sex educator Nora Gelperin dives into sex education today and why abstinence-only education has been a failed experiment. She also touches upon contraceptive access for teens, and the #FreeThePill movement to make birth control available over the counter.


Nora is the director of Sexuality Education and Training at Advocates for Youth. She is also a proponent of evidence-based sex education, supported by leading professional organizations, including the AMA, ACOG, APHA, and AAP.
