Show: Self-Taught: Former Foster Youth on Sex, Health, and Life

How foster youth can navigate bias and stigma in sexual & repro healthcare

Unfortunately, not all medical workers treat foster youth with respect. In this episode, we share how we have sometimes had to stick up for ourselves to get the sexual and reproductive health care we need (and deserve!). Listeners: you have the right to ask questions, say no, and make choices about your own health. You should feel respected and listened to by your doctors— and if you don’t, it’s okay to look for someone new.
