The Young Adult S*x and Health (YASH) journal is a youth-driven initiative started by Pride for Youth to provide a resource of information for living a healthy life and keeping up safe s*x practices. We believe that maintaining a s*x-positive atmosphere and attitude is absolutely essential to promoting safe s*x behavior, and raises self-esteem. This page is health- and s*x-specific; for advocacy,
counseling, and other resources, please feel free to visit the ProgramLeaders PFY page, and don't forget to stop by Coffeehouse Fridays at 2050 Bellmore Avenue. YASH Journal is made possible by and connected to the Program Leaders at Pride for Youth, a project of the Long Island Crisis Center. We would also like to acknowledge the help of the NY AIDS Institute, without which this endeavor would not have been possible. Pride for Youth is a safe space for LGBTQ youth and their straight allies in Nassau County. PFY also provides a Coffeehouse drop-in, walk-in or long-term counseling to LGBT youth between the ages of 13 and 21, and free & confidential HIV&STD screening. Long Island Crisis Center is a 24/7 help hotline-- no problem too big or too small-- which operates out of Bellmore. LICC also provides walk-in counseling and references to other outside resources such as Nassau Haven.
