Planning Ahead Before Going to a Party

Jeanne was going to a party at Sally’s apartment. She knew Sally sometimes had sex with her boyfriend. Jeanne was excited about the party. Maybe she would meet a future boyfriend! But she also felt a bit scared. She did not want to be pressured to have sex with a boy she had just met. She was afraid this could happen. She talked with her support worker. They did a role play. Jeanne practiced what she would say to a boy about how she would like a friendship to grow. She took extra money for a taxi in case she wanted to leave.
