Critical Voice, a coalition of LGBT teens, will present a health “boot camp” aimed at empowering young people to take charge of their physical, emotional and mental health, Sunday, Feb. 23 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Golden Hill Youth Center, 2220 Broadway in San Diego. Timed to coincide with the emotional turmoil teens may experience post-Valentine’s Day – a holiday that can define the popularity and position of high school students – the Self-Care Health Fair will offer participants an array of resources and services in a relaxed, social environment. A series of workshops, focused on topics including domestic violence awareness, alcohol and drug prevention, smoking cessation, and stress management, will headline the forum.
Determined to alter the perceived connection between alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, and the LGBT community, Critical Voice organized the Self-Care Health Fair as interactive educational event. The purpose of the health fair is twofold: To encourage teens to make healthy lifestyle choices, while cultivating opportunities for appreciating the various cultures, values and experiences that define the youth of our community.
