Another session of the “Protection Is in Your Hands” ✋ project, an awareness initiative focused on sexually transmitted infections—whose incidence has been rising among young people—took place this time with the participation of several classes from Filipa de Vilhena Secondary School in Porto.

Through conversations, sharing, and moments of clarification, the students explored essential topics related to prevention, reinforcing the importance of being well-informed to make conscious and safe choices.

With this group, we have now reached 450 students involved in this thematic initiative—a milestone that reflects the reach and relevance of this work among young people.

Thank you to the team at the Aradas Family Health Unit for another excellent presentation and for all the support in this youth education project!

Promoting health literacy is investing in the future: empowering young people to adopt responsible behaviors and prevent risks throughout their lives.
