Toys U Can’t Return workshop Gamma Tau Chapter sponsored a focus group with adult community members to discuss teen pregnancy prevention strategies. We will be having a second focus group with youth for this same purpose. We will then share these strategies with other community groups that work with teens on personal life purpose (e.g. self-esteem, self confidence and strong will power, career planning, and the value of surrounding themselves with peers with similar goals). The workshop was very informative and emotional as each participant shared their own personal life experience.
