Description

Abstract: Mental health nurses are untapped potential resource persons for community-level activities that can foster change in society. Training of school teachers is important as often sex education classes are skipped at school or not discussed. Parents often cannot provide unbiased and scientific information to their children regarding appropriate sexual behaviours. Therefore, there is a dire need to work on this area, especially in the Indian context, where we discuss sexual health in an unwelcome and embarrassing way.
