Safe Talk
A Women's Health Gathering
Safe Talk gatherings provide women in southern Vermont an opportunity to learn about HIV prevention, testing and additional activities in fun and educational ways.
Either in a home, a community center or an agency, women come together in a relaxed atmosphere where they feel comfortable.
Equally important, the gathering allows women to enjoy time out, having laughs with other women. By learning about sexuality in an atmosphere of fun, we encourage women to view their bodies as positive, powerful, and within their own control. Women find that they often share the same questions and challenges and can support each other in building and holding on to a healthy self-esteem.
The facilitator goes to the home of a hostess or in a community center and leads activities that help women learn how to protect themselves from HIV and sexually transmitted diseases by promoting safer sex behaviors into our lives. The guests learn and laugh along with other women as well as receiving gifts and safer sex supplies. Food is provided as well as child-care, if needed.
As a hostess or community agency you will:
* Set a date
* Invite your guests (friends, neighbors, co-workers, relatives, or whomever else might want to come to a women’s health gathering)
* Receive a cash gift (Home gatherings)
* Relax and enjoy the gathering
The trained facilitator will come to the hostess’s home and/or community center and do the rest.
If you would like to be a hostess, facilitator, or guest at a Safe Talk, or simply have questions, contact Sue Conley at hivwomen@sover.net or 802 254-4444.
