There comes a moment in the life of every youth, when suddenly having mom, dad or grandma visit the doctor with you suddenly becomes a major, er, inconvenience. Whether you want to recieve confidential information on birth control, female breast exams or sexuality counseling, there are options available across Canada. Planned Parenthood, a major player in the game of no hassle youth health services, is one example of the type of anonymous health service available for youth, but there are others too. So, to save our readers some time and energy, Tiny Giant Magazine is proud to present our own guide to hassle-free health services for youth. While we may not have listed every service, please feel free to email us with your suggestions for services which we can add! These can be emailed to karen@tgmag.ca |
