“SIHLE” Parental/Guardian Consent Form

Your child has been invited to participate in a young women’s SISTAS INFORMING, HEALING, LIVING & EMPOWERING WORKSHOP, “SIHLE,” sponsored by BLOOM UPSTATE INC. SIHLE is a CDC Evidence Based Intervention, peer-led, group-level, social-skills training intervention designed to reduce sexual risk behaviors among African American female teenagers who are at high risk of HIV. In addition to HIV prevention, the program addresses relationships, dating, and sexual health within the specific context of the female African American teenage experience. The program draws upon both cultural and gender pride to give participants the skills and motivations to avoid HIV and other STDs. The program is culturally and gender specific for African American adolescent young woman at risk for negative sexual health outcomes. SIHLE workshop gives young women of color an excellent opportunity to practice communication skills in discussions and activities focused on issues commonly faced during adolescence. The purpose of this workshop is to build a community of self-confident, well-informed young women to serve as a knowledge base and support system for their peers. We know it isn’t easy being a girl and will provide young women with information and resources that will help them successfully navigate their teenage years and beyond. Your child’s participation will truly enhance this experience. We ask that you provide your written consent allowing her to attend and be photographed/video recorded. Feel free to contact the Director, Andrea Johnson, at 864- 497-6048 or andrea@bloomupstate.org if you have any questions or concerns.
