Goal of the Activity

The primary goal of this online panel discussion is to foster comprehensive awareness and understanding of sex education and HIV protection. Through the insights shared by CBT Psychologist Simay Yilmaz, participants will gain valuable knowledge on safe practices, dispel misconceptions, and equip themselves with the tools necessary for informed decision-making. By creating an open and supportive platform, our aim is to empower individuals to prioritize their sexual health, promote well-being, and contribute to building a safer and more informed community.
Furthermore, the activity seeks to break down stigmas surrounding sex education and HIV, encouraging open dialogue and constructive conversations. The panel aims to address common concerns, provide evidence-based information, and offer a platform for attendees to ask questions directly to Simay Yilmaz, a seasoned CBT Psychologist.


In addition to knowledge dissemination, the goal includes fostering a sense of community engagement. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, perspectives, and insights, creating a supportive network that values and respects diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

Ultimately, this online panel aspires to contribute to the broader public health initiative by promoting sexual health literacy, reducing the risk of HIV transmission, and cultivating an environment where individuals can make informed choices regarding their sexual well-being. Together, we strive to empower participants to become advocates for a healthier and more inclusive society. Join us on December 4th at 7:30 PM for an enriching and impactful discussion.
