A young peer trainer's guide to provide sexual health and drug-related harm reduction education

This guide is the result of a series of workshops conducted in 2009 and 2010 by young people in Romania, India, Mexico and Canada. During these workshops, the authors identified gaps in the information young people have regarding sexual health and drug use. They also identified the best ways to talk about drug use and sexual health among young peers. This guide provides information, practical activities, and resources to facilitate youth-led peer trainings. The guide includes: basic information about HIV/AIDS and drug use; provides strategies for reducing sexual and drug-related harms; and addresses stigma and discrimination related to sexual behaviour and drug use.
