“Your Health and the Law: A Guide for Teens”
Training Resources Overview

While the ACLU of Ohio will provide a speaker for your group regarding the information in our publication Your Health and the Law: A Guide for Teens, we also have created tools so that you can present the material to your staff, group, or students. Below is a list of the resources you can download, with a brief description of how to use them.

If you have questions about using these resources please contact us at (216) 472-2200, or email contact@acluohio.org.
 
Teen Health and the Law PowerPoint Presentation
(We recommend saving the file to your computer. If you do choose to open the file, select "Cancel" at the password prompt and the file will open.)
This presentation contains 37 slides, including notes for the presenter. If you use all of the slides and the scenarios, you should plan for a 90-minute program. This allows time for questions as well as discussion of the scenarios. For a shorter program, select fewer slides to give a flavor for what is in the booklet, or to highlight areas of particular importance to you. (i.e. confidentiality, pregnancy, mental health).

Here are suggestions for a program using the slide show:

  • Order enough guides for your audience
  • Print out the notes pages for yourself
  • Print handouts (3 or 6 slides per page) for your audience to follow and take notes
  • Print out the scenarios if you want to use them for small group discussion (see below)
  • Practice presenting the slides to get a sense of your timing

Note: The slide show does not cover every issue listed in the teen health guide. This is pointed out near the end of the slides. You want to encourage your audience to thoroughly read the guide.
 
Outline
For those who do not use the PowerPoint slide show, this is a training outline for presenting an overview of the teen health guide. It does not cover every issue. It incorporates using the scenarios. Depending on questions and length of discussion of the scenarios, you can expect a program length of 60 - 90 minutes.
 
Scenarios – Questions with Answers
The scenarios are the boxed vignettes used throughout the booklet. This document includes all of the vignettes just as they appear in the guide. Some (not all) of them are incorporated within both the slide show and the presentation outline. You can print these out to use as a reference for group discussion.
 
Scenarios – Questions Only
This document includes all of the vignettes just as they appear in the guide, but without the answers. You can print and cut out the scenarios to distribute for group discussions. For example, divide your audience into small groups of no more than 8. Give each group a couple of scenarios to discuss, and then have them report to the entire group. You may need to adapt this process, depending on the size of your audience and the time available.
