Birth Control

I was really surprised at first to see the section about birth control in our textbook. When I was younger and learned about it in school, we always learned about it in health class, so it seemed like an individual issue. I never really even considered how important it is to keep the whole family in mind when choosing birth control methods.

As a professional working with families, I would remind them that, while practicing the family strength of open communication, it is so important to discuss future plans and personal needs regarding family planning and birth control.
