Real Choices

With school starting up soon, now is a great time to check in on your/your friends' mental health. Here are some warning signs for teens:

Set realistic expectations for yourself. Change sometimes takes a while, but you're strong enough to hold out for the results. #WednesdayWisdom

Nobody should be pressured into having sex. #PressureIsntLove

Your choices shape your future. Choose well.

You're worth being respected. #KnowYourWorth

Hope shines brighter than fear.

Did you know that HIV infections are up almost 300% in Beaver County...from just last year? If you've had sex, it's smart to get tested. We offer free & confidential testing - today & every day: pregnancychoice.org #NationalHIVTestingDay

Need some #MondayMotivation? @iamkidpresident has some important words to share with you:

You're worth waiting for.
