Youth informed of the services they can get in clinics
Kwa-Thema youth encouraged to follow a healthy lifestyle.
Kwa-Thema – Selope Thema Clinic Love Life held a youth zone launch on Thursday at the clinic.
The launch was aimed at promoting services found at the clinic which assist the youth and also provide them with information about subjects they might not be aware of.
Nelisiwe Hlongo, a love life groundbreaker at the clinic, mentioned some of the programmes include information on contraceptives and how they can be used, referrals and time.
“The youth between 10 and 24 years need to know that they can come to the clinic between 08:00 and 09:30 on weekdays, look for a groundbreaker and will receive help during that time.
