Youth PhotoVoice Exhibit and Discussion

The Dragon Youth Project of San Juan Basin Health Department invites the public to a photography exhibit and discussion on health issues among Bayfield teens on Wednesday, August 5th from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Bayfield Town Hall. The La Plata County EPIC Team is a Bayfield youth-led team concerned with helping their peers make healthy choices. EPIC will be presenting on their recently completed Photovoice project. Photovoice is a method of research that engages a community by giving cameras to the people living within that community -- whose voices are not often heard -- so that they may identify and represent community issues concerning them through photographs. The Bayfield project focused on adolescent health including access to health services and teen pregnancy prevention. Please join us at the Bayfield Town Hall, August 5, 2009 from 6-7:30pm. Light refreshments will be served. For more information contact Kendra at 970-247-5702 ext 225 or kendra@sjbhd.org.
