Marin Health Education Workshops

Letters pour into our clinics from teachers and students who are consistently impressed and affected in positive ways by Huckleberry’s Health Education team. Here are excerpts from some of those letters:
A Venetia Valley K-8 School student said: “I believe the program is a great and effective way of teaching teens how to make healthy choices, prevent the possible negative consequences of sex (including STDs), communicate their concerns, and ask questions.”
Counselor, Venetia Valley K-8 School said: “I just wanted to thank you again for coming out to speak to our 8th graders about these important topics. For some of our kids, it is a lifelong lesson and a real wake up call. One of the students on my caseload went to have a full STD screening based on the information that was shared in the presentation. I was so proud of her for self advocating for her health, but also realize that she may not have done that without the extra push from you all at Huckleberry. THANK YOU.”
