WELL.YES Philadelphia Taskforce
The WELL.YES Philadelphia Taskforce, driven by Black LGBTQ+ youth on its community advisory board, provides education on making informed and safer choices about their sexual health and wellness needs. The goals are to reduce disparities in STDs/STIs, ensure access to prevention services, address social determinants of health that contribute to transmission and reduce stigmas.
