Sexual Health Awareness Workshop (SHAW) SHAW is a free, two-hour workshop that we offer every week throughout the year.
During this interactive workshop we will discuss:
Who can attend?
Everyone is welcome to attend the workshop. We strongly encourage you to bring a friend, your partner, etc.
I heard it is required if you want to get on the pill. Is this true?
If you wish to get on any hormonal contraceptive for the first time, it is not required, but we strongly recommend that you attend this workshop. The knowledge you gain from attending will help you with your family planning decisions and having a healthy sex life.
When do I get my prescription for birth control?
After you have completed the workshop, you will have a gynecological examination with a female clinician. At this time, your clinician will give you a prescription to fill at our pharmacy. See below for the prices of our birth control.
What if I cannot make it to the workshop due to a schedule conflict?
If you cannot attend the regularly scheduled times that we offer, we will attempt to provide you with an individual session at a more convenient time.
Call the Health Resource Center for more information (562) 985-4609 and to schedule your appointment.
