Men's Sexual and Reproductive Health Trainings
Recent policy changes at the national Office of Family Planning have left family planning clinics around the country — and their largely female staff — scrambling to figure out what to do in order to meet the family planning and reproductive health care needs of men and adolescent males. At Men’s Health Consulting, we’ve got the right prescription.
We have years of experience providing training in effective, research-based approaches to designing and delivering family planning and reproductive health care services and clinical care to adolescent males and men.
Dr. Courtenay was recently invited by the Federal Office of Family
