Adolescent Sexuality Services

Adolescence is a chaotic time marked by powerful social, emotional and biological changes, including the emergence of sexual thoughts, feelings and impulses. Teenagers need and deserve information, guidance and support during this exciting and often confusing period in their lives. Unfortunately, this guidance is frequently lacking. Many parents do not talk to their teens about sex. School sex education programs often fail to provide accurate and helpful information and assistance. Pornography is widely available through the internet, exposing young people to images of explicit sexual behavior at younger ages than ever before. Many teens have been victims of sexual abuse. These and other factors can cause today’s adolescents to struggle with their sexual feelings and decisions, sometimes resulting in sexual acting out against others.

Cornerstone’s Adolescent Sexuality Services are designed to guide and support teens and their parents towards healthy sexual attitudes and behaviors.
