Connecting Conversations is a series tailored specifically for youth leaders and young people, hosted by Family Planning 2030 and Knowledge SUCCESS. Featuring 5 modules, with 4-5 conversations per module, this series presents a comprehensive look at Adolescent and Youth Reproductive Health (AYRH) topics including Adolescent and Youth Development; Measurement and Evaluation of AYRH Programs; Meaningful Youth Engagement; Advancing Integrated Care for Youth; and the 4 Ps of influential players in AYRH. If you’ve attended any of the sessions, then you know these are not your typical webinars. These interactive conversations feature key speakers and encourage open dialogue. Participants are encouraged to submit questions before and during the conversations.
FP2030 and Knowledge SUCCESS began the Connecting Conversations series in July of 2020, and we’re excited to launch this new collection centered on adolescent responsive services in March of 2021. Missed the first or second set of conversations from last year? Catch up with recordings (available in English and French) and conversation summaries.
Please join us for our next conversations on adolescent responsive services.
Have you heard about Adolescent Responsive Systems, but aren’t quite sure how to apply the approach to your work? Do you wonder how the health system can improve reproductive health services for young people? Do you think it’s time for an innovative approach to ensure lasting improvement? Then get in on the conversation—join one, or join all!
One Size Does Not Fit All:
Reproductive Health Services Within the Greater Health System Must Respond to Young People’s Diverse Needs
March 4: How can we shift to an adolescent responsive approach?
We’ll explore what we have learned from our efforts to promote youth friendly services, and why adolescent responsiveness is the way forward for AYRH.
March 18: How can services better meet the diverse needs of young people?
We’ll discuss segmentation analysis and how different service models within a health system serve diverse groups of young people.
April 8: What does it look like to implement an adolescent responsive approach?
In this conversation, we’ll look at the differences between implementing a systems-based approach versus disconnected approaches, and what youth-led accountability approaches are needed to ensure services meet the needs of young people.
April 29: How can our health systems serve adolescents as they grow and change?
We’ll end our conversations on this theme, with a discussion on how health systems can adapt to meet the changing needs of young people as they grow to ensure that they remain in care.
