Healthy Child Manitoba

Project CHOICES

CHOICES is a new program about alcohol, sex and birth control. It is a brief service that offers information and individualized feedback to help women make healthy decisions for themselves about alcohol use and contraception. Girls or women are eligible to participate if they are:

• Not currently pregnant
• Sexually active
• Drinking alcohol regularly or binge drinking

How does Project CHOICES work?
Women are offered 4 short individual sessions with a counsellor to talk about their drinking behaviours and use of contraception. Counsellors use motivational interviewing strategies to set goals and receive information about drinking and birth control options.  
In addition, women are offered 1 visit with a nurse to get information about birth control options.

Referrals are accepted from service providers or from women themselves. For contact information to join, see the brochure below.
