The training is a psychologist with a Masters in health and sought to meet the needs presented by young mothers who participated in the sessions. The group showed interest in all subjects and showed concern in the subject of sexually transmissible infections verifying the existence some myths in the transmission of Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV / AIDS.
It was important to share in the group and exposure situations. The group showed interest in addressing issues such as homosexuality, gender issues, dating violence, hepatitis and caring for babies.
It is considered that the intervention with these groups that suffer from vulnerabilities should be continuous and should cover various topics, working myths, providing information and promoting awareness of risk behaviors. Some young people shared symptoms and interest in changing the contraceptive method they use.
Providing pamphlets, male and female condoms, use of contraception kit that allowed the exploitation of all contraception consider that were very useful. Used to display videos and powerpoint on the computer and various activities in group and individually. Some individual activities the young people were more difficult than in a group. Most of these young people have few qualifications, have difficulty in interpreting and throughout the sessions demonstrate low self-esteem anddifficulty seeing and plan your future. It is considered necessary to address other issues and work the parental and personal skills of every young person. Many young people yearn to be in the labor market but due to low education and the fact that they are mothers and have no one to care of the children makes the process more complex. It should be noted that there has been a situation of withdrawal of a baby in one of these young people, which was institutionalized and waiting for a possible adoption.
These lamentable situations reinforce the importance of family planning and the use of contraceptive methods to avoid unwanted or early pregnancy.
Many young people do not have economic conditions or family support is necessary to their stay in the supporting institutions.
The evaluation is positive, lamenting not continuing this project for jersey and the non-participation of many other young people living in the wood they need these interventions to reduce risk behavior and recurrence of early pregnancy.
These young people were positive reinforcements at the end of the intervention, participants would products from care for their babies (a bag with the ESC logo) and a trip to the movies, most young people have never had the opportunity to go to the movies, showing great satisfaction.
It should be noted that the project began in March, we learned on March 2 of the project approval. It was prepared immediately a program, meeting, place setting for meetings, schedules and frequency. The sessions took place from April to July. August was carried out the assessment and questionnaire analysis, reflection and intervention and financial report. It has received a positive assessment from the stakeholders and responsible for the project (Center of Mother and Association for Family Planning).
It should be noted that we took some photos, some young people do not want to be photographed. We send some pictures to your registration. Please find attached some documents used in the sessions.
