Long-acting contraception does NOT mean permanent.

Implants and IUDs can work for years, but both are reversible and can be removed by a trained healthcare professional.

The useful questions are practical:
How long does this one last?
What might happen to my bleeding?
What does insertion and removal involve?
Is it suitable for my health?

She didn’t expect how much she’d receive back.

Learning a song. Reading with a child. Trying something unfamiliar. Realising you are more capable than you thought.

After moving to Seychelles, volunteering gave Annabelle a way to connect with the community and find purpose during a time when she wasn’t yet able to work.

As she puts it: “Giving and receiving aren’t necessarily separate things. Sometimes, they go hand in hand.”

And perhaps the most important thing she wants people to understand is this: mothers do not only deserve support when something is going wrong.

Early encouragement, connection and care can matter for both a mother and the child growing beside her.

Merci Annabelle for being part of our mission 🌸

If your teen asks about contraception. Start with curiosity, not suspicion🙅‍♀️

“Why do you need to know?” can make a simple question feel like an accusation.

Try:
“Sure. What have you heard so far?”
“What do you want to know?”
“Let’s find a reliable answer together.”

You can ask why later. First, make it safe to ask.

Condoms: two at once are not safer.

Use one new condom, from start to finish. Check the expiry. With latex, choose water- or silicone-based lubricant.

If it breaks or slips, get accurate advice quickly about emergency contraception and STI testing.

Contraception education cannot depend on one adult feeling ready.

A teenager who gets no answer at home does not stop being curious. đź‘€ They may ask a friend, a partner or the internet instead.

Parents matter. So do schools, health professionals and youth organisations.

Contraception is not one thing.

A condom is used every time. The pill needs a routine. Injections are repeated. Implants and IUDs can work for years. Emergency contraception is used after unprotected s*x or method failure.

They also do not all protect against the same things.

Contraception knowledge is more than knowing the names.

A teen can recognise “the pill” or “emergency contraception” and still not know what it does, what it does not protect against, or what happens when it is used incorrectly.

Ask three questions:
What does it do?
What doesn’t it protect against?
What happens if something goes wrong?

Don’t test them. Find the gap.

Save these three questions for your next conversation.

Some parents worry that giving accurate information about contraception means giving permission. But It doesn’t.

You can have clear values around s3x, relationships and commitment… and still make sure your teenager understands pregnancy prevention, consent and s*xual health.

Facts answer: “”How does this work?””
Values help answer: “”What do we believe?””

You can say, “”I hope you choose to wait,”” and still say, “”If you ever need information, I want you to be able to ask me.””

Withholding information does not guarantee that a young person will make the choice you hope they make. It may only leave them less prepared if they do not.

Follow us if you want to be the informed adult guiding a child.

A period is normal. But for many girls, it can still feel like an emergency every month.

Not knowing when it will come.
Feeling pain during the school day.
Opening the bag and realising there is no pad.
Worrying about stains.
Trying to hide discomfort.
Feeling too embarrassed to ask for help.

That is a lot for a young girl to carry quietly, and it is not only physical. It is emotional too.

Girls deserve better than that.
They deserve to understand their bodies.
They deserve to feel prepared.
They deserve access to basic hygiene products.
They deserve adults they can ask without shame.

Periods are normal. Panic, shame and being unprepared should not be.
