The Emergency Birth Control Access Project's mission is to decrease barriers to access by:
· Educating Pharmacists about the functionality and proper use of Emergency Birth Control
· Increasing awareness with Health Care Providers that offer Contraceptive Services about the need to talk with their patients about Emergency Birth Control
· Engaging and educating the public about Emergency Birth Control and dispelling myths
· Distributing information in communities about where women can go to access on-going birth control services including EBC in their community
The Emergency Birth Control Access Project's goal is to work the people in each county to ensure that women have equal access to Emergency Birth Control. We are looking for people willing to give a couple hours a month (1-2 days a month) to help with the distribution of our Public Education Campaign print media. We are also recruiting volunteer community educators to get in discussing women's reproductive health care, affordability, and accessibility.
We need those of you that are passionate about women's reproductive health willing to give their time, and want to help a great cause!
If you are interested or know of someone who would be interested in working with the project, please contact Gwende at 503.223.4510 ex 18.
