Get a Sneak Peek of Bedsider
Have you heard about Bedsider.org,
the newest program developed for young women by The National Campaign?
If not, you are cordially invited to a preview of Bedsider given by the
team that developed it.
Bedsider is an innovative birth control support network that lives
online and on mobile devices, too. And it's totally free. It doesn't
look, sound, or act like any medical information you've seen before. It
serves up clear, solid facts and advice about birth control and about a
lot of other things, too. And it does so with humor, edge, and candor.
We are offering an informational webinar about Bedsider on two
different dates in hopes that at least one will fit your schedule. Join
us on:
OR
In these previews, we'll demonstrate how Bedsider can help women find a birth control method that's right for them-and stick with it-until they're ready to have a child.
Sarah Brown, President and CEO of The National Campaign, will lead this
briefing along with Bill Albert, Chief Program Officer, and Lawrence
Swiader, Senior Director of Digital Media.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn about Bedsider from the team that developed it.

Videopalooza
Over the last few weeks, the Campaign has released a number of
video offerings. Missed one (or some) of our fantastic videos? Get
back in the loop here:
- Can guys buy emergency contraception over the counter? Find out the answer in a brand new Fact or Fiction animated short from Bedsider.org. If you haven't seen the full oeuvre of Fact of Fiction videos, do yourself a favor and watch the magic.
- October is Let's Talk Month-a
time to underscore the importance of parent/child communication about
sex, love, and relationships. A new National Campaign video, Demasiado Joven, features Latino teen parents sharing their own personal stories about parenthood. Watch the video below and download the discussion guide. We hope that this video helps initiate a few parent/child conversations in October and beyond.
- Also premiering for Let's Talk Month is a series of eleven new videos for parents.
Two of the videos feature a group of nine teens offering advice to
parents about when to start conversations about sex, how to start them,
and what to say. The other nine videos focus specifically on advice from
an individual teen.
- Last but certainly not least are a series of new relationship videos. Each Friday over the course of the next six weeks, a new video will be posted on StayTeen.org.
One four-minute video features teens talking generally about
relationships; eight shorter videos feature teens addressing a specific
question about relationships. In the latest video, young people opine on
the best relationship advice they have ever received.
