For Immediate Release: Oct. 1, 2020
Tú hablas dos idiomas, now we do too!
Washington — Today, as we continue to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month, Planned Parenthood launches Chatea/Textea, an innovative bilingual resource for young Latinx folks’ sexual health questions. Chatea/Textea connects young people, via instant message or text, to trained health educators who can answer their questions, bilingually, and provide critical sexual health information. Chatea/Textea eliminates language and internet barriers — as well, its anonymity removes the awkward apprehension that can come from face-to-face conversations and gives users the opportunity to communicate how and where they feel most comfortable.
